Hi, this maybe a simple question. I found the answer, but not sure

if there are another uses though.

When be used in continuous form ?

-In descriptions ( foolish, idiot, funny?) ,

You are being funny.

-In passive form,

The car is being driven.

Thanks Smile

Sorry to hearing that Very Happy . I hope I'm not confusing anyone. The question

simply is,

When we use be in continuous " being" ?

Thanks.

P.s being crazy, means that you aren't truly crazy and you are showing

this quality at the moment. Like being funny, you are pretending this

deliberatley.That what the rule says here.

Hey Nav. Both of these examples are correct, but I don't really see a distinction between their usage in these examples. As far as I can fathom there is only one use of the word being, and this is it.

Hi, this may [space] be a simple question. I found the answer, but [I'm] not sure if there are other uses.
