Is this sentence correct?

What do you mean 'hear teacher'? Is it a typo for 'his teacher'?
If so, I would say;
"Since he got a low mark/score in an exam, he has been pleading with his teacher for another one."

Oops it was typo...
and I've fogot the "a"
Tense mistake :X
Thanks

Another question: I am always confusing BEEN and BEING in present perfect
BEEN indicates passive voice
BEING - progressive...
Aren't they? If yes so why did you change this sentence to passive?
Thanks

No! "He has been pleading with someone for something" is not a passive sentence. It is a sentence of present perfect progressive tense. It is used to emphasize the action that started in the past is still now continuing.

So what does "being" indicates?
Are there correct?
1) I was being\been bothered by my friend during the yesterday's Math lesson(been????)
2) I have been\being annoyed by my guilt feelings since I beat/had beat this girl (been\beat?)

I am sure I'm completely wrong... please correct me

3) When I use "being" in present perfect???? o_O
Thanks

Mav, please proofread before you post-- other mistakes confuse us as to what you are asking, sometimes. Use the 'preview' button.


1) 'I was being bothered by my friend during yesterday's math lesson.'-- This is grammatically OK as past progressive, passive voice, but the use of the participle 'being' in the progressive presents us awkwardly with two forms of 'be' ('was being') an

Thank you very much and please help me correct the following sentences:
"Timothy has never been ill after he had been ill when he was 5 years old"
"Timothy has never been being ill after he had been ill when he was 5 years old"
Are these correct?
Thanks

I would write this as:

Timothy hasn't been ill since he was five.

I fully agree with Mr. M's advice: use the simplest verb tense possible to write your sentences!
