英语改错题

英语改错题“I was seating in my classroom by myself.”
答案有两种①seating改为seated
②seating改为sitting
可是第一种里面为什么不改成being seated

Answer 1

be seated 已经是表示一种状态（正在），相当于be sitting，没有be being seated这种用法。
下面是sit和seat的区别：
seat和sit作为动词,都可以表示“坐”的意思.
(1) seat是及物动词,比较正式,常以被动形式表示主动意义.如：
He is seated between Jack and Tom.　她坐在杰克和汤姆之间.
Please be seated.(=Please seat yourself.) 请坐.
(2) sit通常作不及物动词用,比较口语化.如：
The students are sitting at their desks.　学生们正坐在课桌旁.
Sit down,please.请坐.

Answer 2

ody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
