Need Urgen HELP
Dear Members,
I would be grateful if you could solve my query.
1) (Being a vegetarion....) means (I am a vegetarion ... )
2) (Being a Doctor has its ups and Downs) means (I am Doctor...)
3) I apologize for not being able to attend the marriage means (I am not able to)
4) Would you mind being quiet for a moment?
5) My daughther enjoyed being taken at the circus..
6) Thank you for sending me a beautiful greeting card.
In all the above mentioned sentences being, a gerund, is used.
1) I get little bit confused on when I have to use word, being, in sr. No. 3,4 and 5 and when not, like in Sr. no. 6. In Sr. No. 6, there is no use of word,being. In these type of sentences, I am not aware, when to use word "being" like in Sr. No. 3, 4 and 5 and when to use a simple gerund (Verb+ing, sending) like in Sr. No. 6.
As per my understanding, in Sr. no. 3,4 and 5, "being" is used because there is an adjective (like able, quite and taken) and to show a kind of action also, we have used "being". In Sr. No. 6, a simple Action (sending) has been potrayed., therefore, no "being" has been used.
2) In Sr. No. 1 to 3 "am" represent, being. Can you please tell me when to use sentence like I am a vegetarian and when to use being a vegetarian ? Because both the sentences are identical to each other.
3) Does being represent one of its form(is, am,was....) in Sr. No. 4 to 5 also like in Sr. Nos. 1 to 3)?
My understanding on this is "Yes, It does" because if we split 4 and 5, it would become
4) My daughther enjoyed as she was taken at the circus. (was respesent being as in sr. no. 4 on the top)
5) Would you mind being quiet for a moment. I dont know how to split it.
I think my question is clear.

Dear Rajan,
using the gerund is not very easy. There are some rules, but also exemptions and cases where it is used, that you just have to learn, i.e. "I am looking forward to hearing from you."
Sentence No 2. means that a doctor has it not always easy. But it does not necessarily mean, that you are the doctor! Same may apply to sentence No. 1.
