I think the following sentence is correct.
"It being hot, we went swimming."
I want to know if it is possible to omit "being" from the sentence.
If not, why?

I think [STRIKE]correct[/STRIKE] the following sentence is correct.

"It being hot, we went swimming." no full stop here

I [STRIKE]wanna[/STRIKE] want to know if it is possible to omit "being" from the sentence. If not, why?

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections above. No, it is not possible to start with "It hot", simply because that's not grammatical. You need some form of verb between the subject and the adjective.

Please don't use non-standard things like "wanna" on the forum.

See above. Please don't try to make your own emoticons - if you really want one, click on the :) icon in the toolbar and choose one. We end sentences with one of the following:
- A full stop
- A question mark
- An exclamation mark
