| "That being said, not too many people would like to have 12 dogs to stay in their houses." How do we explain the former part of the sentence grammatically " That being said?" Thanks a lot! Paula |

| Grammatically, it's a pronoun + gerund & past particple. It means something like 'while accepting what you have said, here's an additional idea/extension'. Last edited by Tdol; 08-Apr-2005 at 03:49. |
