The word "being" is a verb.

  • The verb "being" is the present participle, present tense of the verb "to be".
  • The present participle of the verb functions as a gerund, a verbal noun. The noun "being" is a word for the state of existing or having life; a word for a living thing.
  • The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.

A flamingo has long legs because it's a being of the wetlands. (noun)

Their desserts are famous for being perfection. (adjective, describes the noun "perfection")
