being 是be动词的现在分词形式。平常情况下，见到being 的句子不是很多，因而不少人对这个词的用法不是很熟悉。本文根据实例，对being 的用法作一个简要的概述。

being 是现在分词形式。being的用法可以概括为两类：
1、being 作为助动词，它与谓语动词一起共同构成进行时的被动语态。
2、being 作为系动词，它主要构成系表结构。

我们在学习being 分词短语的时候，特别要记住两点：
1、在进行时的被动语态中，being 是谓语动词的一部分。
2、being 分词与其它分词一样，大多是以分词短语的形式出现的。分词短语是一个相对独立的词组。此时，being 不是谓语动词的一部分。being短语可以在句中用作多种成份，如：主语、宾语、定语、状语等。既使是“being+过去分词”的短语，虽然它表达的也是被动的含义，但它是一个单独词组，而整个句子并不是被动语态。

一、进行时的被动语态

当being为助动词时，与过去分词连用，构成进行时的被动语态。这里的being 短语是被动语态的有机组成部分，不能把它拆开看成being分词短语。例如：

I'm always being criticized.
我总是挨批。
He is being interviewed now.
他现在正在接受面试。
He is being met at the station tonight.
今晚有人去车站迎接他。
