Perfect Continuous tense with the verb “be” I've got to accept your answer, something about the way you've phrased it has made the construction seem so natural to me now :D |

Perfect Continuous tense with the verb “be” +1-Duly noted, question edited since I forgot that "being sick" had this implication. |

Perfect Continuous tense with the verb “be” +1-I like your analysis, and look forward to seeing these articles. The only problem I'm having is that "You've been silly" could have substituted in for "You've been being silly", and I'm not certain whether the connotation of the phrase actually changes. I do like how the parallelism makes one want to turn to the dark side though! Also, with respect to "activity" vs. "state", one could argue that having a property is never an "activity" per se, though again, it is tempting to say that "being" and "acting" are synonymous in the sentence you constructed. |
