"Being" is the present participle of the verb "to be" and is used in the present continuous tense or in passive voice constructions in the present tense. "Been" is the past participle of the verb "to be" and is used in the past perfect tense, present perfect tense, or in passive voice constructions in the past tense. Use "being" when describing actions that are currently happening or when forming passive voice in the present tense. Use "been" when referring to actions that have already occurred, particularly in perfect tenses or passive voice in the past tense.
