That being said, ...

Hello to all

Thanks to all of the teacher or instructors. As a English learner, I have learned about from this website.

I love this website just because I feel I have a lot of friends in English and Grammar knowledge Emotion: smile

Having said that, I know the usage and meaning of the clause "that being said", But!!!, I am wondering why this clause does not have any to be verb. Why don't we say "That is being said" instead of "That being said".

I know that "Being" can be considered as a gerund or progressive verb but:

"That being said" grammatically appears to be an incorrect clause, doesn't it??!!

Not to mention, if you find any English wrong structure, regardless of the main question, grammatically or structurally at this post, since I am still learning, please correct me.

Sincerely Yours

Atlantaeeee

atlantaeeeethe clause "that being said"

This is a participle clause — a type of clause that has a non-finite verb (being), and is therefore a dependent clause. The subject is that, and the verb is the non-finite passive form being said. (This is a substitute for "That having been said", by the way.)

This is not a progressive tens
