A sentence using both:

They were both being questioned about where they had been on Friday afternoon.

The difference between being and been, although both use helper verbs, is that being implies that an action is continuous, whereas been means that the action is completed.

Being as a verb uses another form of to be along with it.

Examples:

"He is being polite."

"He was being polite."

Been uses the helper verb to have along with it.

Examples:

"He has been busy."

"He had been busy."
