Grammar
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
can we form a "past continuous sentences" like this
"I WAS BEING IN LONDON" instead of "i was living in London"
in the first sentence we substitute the word "BEING" instead of "LIVING"
basically "be" is the verb it gives the meaning of "exist in actuality" or "occupy a specified position"
so i think we can use "be" instead of "live"
"being" is the continuous form of "be"
"was" here is just a helping verb
so it seems "I WAS BEING IN LONDON" is grammatically correct and there is no logical offense if we use this sentence instead "i was living in London"
am i correct ?
please kelp me and thanks in advance. .

Anonymous so it seems "I WAS BEING IN LONDON" is grammatically correct and there is no logical offense if we use this sentence instead "i was living in London" No. There is no logical offense. If you say it, people will look at you as if you had two heads, but there's nothing illogical about it grammatically.
