Разница между BE и BEING:

 She is nice \ She is being nice


Проблема с глаголами be и being возникает, когда встречаются выражения вроде ‘She is being nice’ или ‘He is being rude’. Почему бы не сказать ‘She is nice, he is rude’, в чем разница между be и being в этих предложениях?

Что значит being?

Being (в данном случае) — в это длительная форма глагола to be, грубо говоря: «быть, являться в данный момент». А вот be (опять же в данном случае) — это просто быть. Не в данный момент, а вообще. Иначе говоря, выражения с being обозначают явление на данный момент, а выражения с be — явление вообще.

Что это значит на практике?

На практике это значит, что в предложении ‘Alice is rude’ говорятся о том, что Элис — грубиянка. У нее такой характер. А в предложении ‘Alice is being rude’ имеется в виду, что Элис ведет себя грубо. Может, она и барышня уточненных манер, но сейчас Элис ведет себя грубо.

В видеоуроке ниже разница между be и being объясняется очень кратко и точно: «One of these has to do with behaviour, the other one has to do with personality». Что в недословном переводе значит: being связано с поведением, а be — с личностью.

 

 

Be – постоянное качество личности Being – поведение, качество в данный момент
The boy is naughty

Мальчик наглый (по своей натуре)

 

The boy is being naughty

Мальчик наглый (ведет себя нагло)

You are rude

Ты грубый (всегда, обычно)

 

You are being rude

Ты ведешь себя грубо (сейчас)

 

Jack is stupid

Джек глупый (всегда)

Jack is being stupid

Джек глупит \ ведет себя глупо (хотя может быть он и гений)

В первой колонке говорится о постоянных качествах личности. Джек — глупый, и ничего с этим не поделаешь (Jack is stupid). Он всегда такой. Во второй колонке речь идет о временном состоянии, о поведении в определенный момент. Джек — умный и сообразительный, но сейчас решил повалять дурака: Jack is being stupid.

Last year my best friend, name is Annie, invited me to stay with her during the summer holiday. Annie lives in Nancy, is a beautiful town in the eastern part of France. She has a big apartment overlooks the river. The school she works is very close to her apartment.


Annie studied French at university, is the reason she decided to live in France. She teaches English to students, most of are hoping to study in England and America and need to be able to speak English. I met some of Annie's students when I visited her. I also met her boss, struck me as being a very nice man. He offered me a job in his school as soon as he found out that I was in the teaching business too. I decided to accept his offer, is I'm still here in Nancy.
