Grammar
Be being vs be
Hello, teachers. I heard a sentence on TV today and I would like to know if it's grammatically correct:
The China young people are being the driving force for changes.
Why not just use 'are the driving force'?
Thank you.
The China young people are being the driving force for changes.

The sentence is incorrect. I would say: In China young people are the driving force for change / changes. Change can be used as an uncountable word in your sentence if you like.
