employers would still probably choose a fresh graduate with such experience over one without it. "Despite" is a preposition
which has to be followed by a noun or noun phrase as its object. Therefore
"Despite the duration of the work experience is quite short
" is not grammatical as a finite verb "is" appears in the prepositional phrase. "being"
the present participle (non-finite verb / verbal) of "be" (linking verb)
is used to link up the noun phrase "the duration of the work experience" with the predicative adjective "short". In other word
"being quite short" is a participle phrase (adjectival) moding the noun phrase. 2014-11-18 04:10:38 補充: He is rude. It is a description or opinion relating to his character in general. He is being rude. It tells an opinion about his manner in some defined occasion

Being o系句子裏面擔當「主動詞」o既角色,負責承載「處於什麽什麽狀態」的語意。 不同於現在式和過去式(都是 simple ect),「is」、「was」、「am」、「are」、「were」等等在進行式的動詞結構裏,只是助動詞(即幫助主動詞完成文法結構〔be + V-ing〕的動詞)。 用「being」因為「being」系「be」o既現在分詞,即系 be 加 -ing,按照進行式o既結構要求,要o系「was」呀、「am 呀」呢o的助動詞後面加返壹個加o左 -ing o既「主動詞」。 記住,「being」在句子裏是「主動詞」,不可答「分詞」。 因為它是「be」這個「動詞」的現在分詞,絕不是句子的分詞。 2014-11-23 20:32:10 補充: (1) 作為be的現在分詞,例如: Being busy
I can't watch TV now. 我現在很忙,無暇看電視。 (2) 作為be的動名詞,例如: Being with you makes me happy. 和妳壹起令我愉快。 (3) 構成被動進行式,例如: The house is being built. 該大屋正在建造中。 (4) 作為名詞,表示「存在」或「生命」,例如: That was his reason for being. 那就是他生存的理由。 (5) 表示「人」或「物」,例如: A human being should do good deeds. 人應該 2014-11-23 20:32:57 補充: 應該做好事。 (6) 表示「肉體和精神之結合」,例如: She responded to the music with her whole being. 她身心都陶醉在音樂之中。 (陸谷孫《英漢大詞典》) (7) 用於慣用語,例如for the time being: He is staying with his uncle for the time being. 他暫時住在叔父家。 2014-11-23 20:34:16 補充: 另外 is be
is to be
will be 和is being 用法區別 is be,這種形式不正確,因為is是be動詞,後面不能再加動詞原形be; is to be,表示“已經確定,確信,確認“之意。例:The boy is to e here.男孩確定要過來。 will be ,是壹般將來時,後面加名詞,代詞等可以做表語的成分。例:She will be here tomorrow.她明天在 這裏。 is being ,可以看做是現在進行時的被動語態的構成形式。例:He is being hit b 2014-11-23 20:35:08 補充: is being ,可以看做是現在進行時的被動語態的構成形式。例:He is being hit by Father. 主動句是:Father is hitting him. 完-:亖亖亖亖亖
