Being: Minute grew into minute

Minute grew into minute, and still there was no sign of life, nor did the curtain move; but I felt the gaze of the unknown being sinking through and through me, and filling me with a nameless terror, till the perspiration stood in beads upon my brow. The difference between be , being , and been can be confusing to a lot of English learners. Be , being and been are just different forms of the verb to be : Be is the infinitive, being can be the present participle or the gerund form, and been is the past participle. Because we use BEING meaning: 1 : a living thing; 2 : the state of existing existence A being is any living creature, from a person to a bug. Being also refers to the state of existing.
