Alright class, settle down now, letโs take a peek,
At this dictionary entry โ it's a tricky piece!
It seems thereโs been a little bit of a mix,
A misunderstanding, causing quite the fix.
That definition isn't about buzzing bees, you see,
It describes something entirely different, completely free!
"Been" is a
verb
, my dears, itโs crucial to know,
Meaning 'to have existed', or โto have had a go.โ

been
reading all day," โ you see,
Means I spent the whole time with books, happily!
Or โShe
been
working hard,โ shows effort and might,
Itโs about a past action, shining ever so bright.
The dictionary's got a bit confused, it's true,
Let's focus on 'been' โ meaning โto have been throughโ!
Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
Now letโs move on, with knowledge beyond compare!
