Hi!
I have a question.
Ex:
- It was very hot yesterday, so we went swimming.
rewritten
- It being very hot yesterday, we went swimming.
Is it all right?

Hi friend,

I don't think " It being very hot yesterday." is correct.
I think it should be " It was being a very hot day, we went swimming"
But I'd like to hear form other people.

No, that's wrong. You can't say, "It was being a very hot day."

It's possible, but I doubt whether anyone would say that.
"Since it was very hot yesterday, we went swimming."
