This is quite correct grammatically.\n\nThe form 'being' is a GERUND. This is a type of verbal noun produced by using the -ing ending on a verb.\n\nFor example: I enjoy sleeping. 'sleeping' is a GERUND, the action is a noun but is created from a verb. This is a widely unknown term that is used in everyday speech frequently. (Same with the subjunctive mood)

"Are" is a conjugation of the verb "to be", which is used, among other things, to describe qualities or states of being.  You would say "Are you hungry?" because "hungry" is an adjective. \n\n"Do" is an auxiliary verb that is used in questions along with another verb: for example, "Do you sing?" is a good question.  It is equivalent to "Is it true that you sing?" \n\nMore examples:\n\nAre you okay? ("okay" is an adjective)\nYes, I am okay.\n\nDo you smoke? ("smoke" is a verb here)\nYes, I smoke.\n\nAre you running?\nNo, I am not running.\n("running" is a participle, which is an adjective formed from a verb)\n\nDo you run? ("run" is a verb here)\nNo, I do not run.\n("do not" + verb infinitive is how to answer "no".)\n\nDoes he love cake?\nYes, he loves cake.\n(you conjugate "to do" and you leave the verb like "love" in the infinitive.)\n\nDoes she hate you?\nNo, she does not hate me.\n\nAre you thirsty? ("thirsty" is an adjective)\nNo, I am not thirsty.\n\nAre they tired? ("tired" is an adjective)\nYes, they are tired.\n\nIs she pretty? ("pretty" is an adjective)\nYes, she is very pretty.\n\nGet the idea?

No honey. Sometimes i say that ... and it is just .. to ask. It doesn't make someone idiot. I'm not idiot, i can asure you that. Actually sometimes i say, does this make me look more fat ?, and in fact i'm  "not fat". It is just an expression, at least to me. Well, honestly i have no obsession about my weight.

I'm not happy!  I had two kids one right after the other...my personal choice.  But now I'm stuck with all this weight!  I am happy with other things like my hair, skin tone, no wrinkles, etc.  But I'm unhappy about my weight.  I went from a 6 to a -- size and I hate it! \n\nHowever, I am working to fix it and I've gone back to my kickboxing classes and I'm beginning to lose weight.  Eventually, I can be happy with myself again.  Can't be unhappy with myself all the time now can I?

"Did you have a nice bath?" or "Did you have a nice shower?" "Did you enjoy your bath?" or "Did you enjoy your shower?" There's some options, that is if your tring to be nice. Telling them they smell better now probably isnt a good idea.

you're asking the wrong questions... not did i gain weight, but why am i freaked out about gaining weight. i think you need to get some help with this, you are not over your eating disorder.

This is completely accurate:\n\nDid you feel something was wrong whilst you were writing your dedication?\n\nNOTE:  Whilst is the grammatically correct form in this context not while.

Ive wondered that myself, and realized that its in other phrases too like "im going to take a break" so its probably grammatical.  *shrug* who knows for sure

It can be either, depends in what context it was said.  If it was said to me, my response would have been, "Why, yes I am!" and leave it at that. If they meant it as an insult then they would be flustered and not know what to say next, but if it was meant as a compliment then they would laugh.\nThough I think it is more used as an insult then not.

Hem hem.."how good your teacher be" is not proper grammar, and frankly I have no idea what you said.\n\nSo, I guess the question is how do you describe how good your teacher is, or how good you teacher can teach. You can say that you learned a lot, and that you've improved.

Neither...\nThe word THIS is a pronoun or an adjective.\nThis is a good QUESTION!

The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.\n(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

It is incorrect. It should read, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Joe Blow or me."\n\nOne way to determine this is to remove one of the two persons you are referring to. In this instance you are referring to yourself and Joe Blow. Take out Joe blow and you get, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact myself."\n\nThat doesn't make any sense. Replace 'myself' with 'me' and you have a sentence that makes sense. Now put Joe in front of you and you have a complete, grammatically correct sentence.

They are right grammatically...\nIf u were...this is a hypothesis (present unreal conditional)\nIf u were rich (but you ARE not now)\n\nif u are... this one has a future result (FUTURE REAL CONDITIONAL) it's probable...unlike the previous one...\nIf u are sick, you won't have to go to school.
