confused about using is or "being"

Hi Rick. If this is your first time, welcome to A2K.

You can't use 'being' there. It needs 'is'.

You could do this.

Since the manager has been able to acquire additional financial support he will likely expand our operation in Asia.

or this,

Since the manager, having been able to acquire additional financial support, has gained the full support of the shareholders, he will likely expand our operation in Asia.

Thank you so much for your answer.

Rick

Yo JTT, you could substitute "being" in your second example there. Or "now being".

Whether this will help the questioner I know not. Probably not.

Since the manager, being able to acquire additional financial support, has gained the full support of the shareholders, he will likely expand our operation in Asia.

Since the manager, now being able to acquire additional financial support, has gained the full support of the shareholders, he will likely expand our operation in Asia.

Damn good insight, McTag.
