Hi everyone.

Could you please explain when we should use 'being'?

Thanks.

[Jimb0678]

'Being' is used primarily to notify someone of their current behaviour, when it is changeable and temporary.

For example, if Fred is always nervous: "Fred is nervous"/"Fred, you are a nervous person".

If Fred is acting nervous and he is normally not so: "Fred is being nervous"/"Fred, you are being nervous".

I don't understand the use of that type of question tag. "Oh I'm" is positive so the question tag should be "oh I'm, am I not?". That's what I expected. please give me some more explanation!

Well, in the previous explanation i read this:

One type of explanation tag is :
" The sarcastic response or one showing surprise or disbelief where both are positive as in:
A I've worked really hard today
B You have, have you?"

...So i think this following example is this kind of tag question because when he says 'Oh I am, am I?' is
showing surprise and sarcasm.

Sarah: 'You're being very rude!'
Paul: 'Oh I am, am I?'
