mary's boss upbraided her for being late.
Why the word" being" is added between for and late?

✔ 最佳答案
這being是動名詞
首先你要明白,在介詞(Preposition)之後,必須跟隨名詞,動名詞,或名詞相等語
因為late是形容詞,所以就不可以直接說成,for late
其實這句若加上動詞意思主詞,就會更加好
Mary's boss upbraided her for her being late.
若你想更簡潔,不防說成
Mary's boss upbraided her for her lateness.

being 係is,am,are的1個form(present continue tense)

present continue tense can be use as noun..


mary's boss upbraided her for (being late)
mary is late..=sentence中的being late

is 因為係當NOUN,所以change做present continue tense= being!

present continue tense can be use as noun..e.g.drawing,dancing,cooking..只要verb 係present continue tense就可以係noun!!
