Re: being You want some examples, I also need some examples before I can explain "being" to you. It's not much easy to find "being" (when it is not the noun "being") in a dictionary, but you can find examples ofcourse. Originally Posted by learner. Last edited by Khosro; 09-Mar-2011 at 14:38.

I hope that helps.
