<p>Is it ever right to use "being that" and "having been/having done..."</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

2

<p>Yes…but in what context?</p>

3

<p>Most of the “being” choices in SAT Writing are wrong (e.g. “being that”…seriously, who talks like that?)</p>

4

<p>if it was like…</p>

<p>“having been a teacher for 12 years, Teresa wanted to have a change in her life.”</p>

<p>and do we ever know what the experimental sections are.
Thanks! GOod luck everyone!</p>

5

<p>^
That should work, but if there’s ever another grammatically correct sentence that also seems right, go with the one that does not have the -ing(having/being).</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, this is correct.</p>

7

<p>^Seconded. “Having been…” is a perfect passive participle and can be taken as a description of “Teresa”.</p>

8

<p>^ It’s not passive.</p>

9

<p>Hmm, I guess I mixed up Latin and English.</p>
