"Being" is the present participle and "been" the past participle of the verb "to be". "Be" is the present plural subjunctive of this verb. (Unlike most verbs, even most other irregular verbs, for "to be" the simple present indicative of the verb is not the same as the part of the verb after "to" for any person or number of the simple present indicative, except in dialect or "Ebonics", if that is considered a separate language.)
