being
1. When to use 'being'? Does it occur in present continuous tense? For example, You are being ridiculous. It means right at this moment, you are being ridiculous? "being' emphasizes on 'right now'? Usually, I hear people say: With that BEING said.
2. Sometimes I can't figure out when to use 'for', and when to use 'to'? Does 'to' usually go with action?
