为什么说动词be是tobe?
最近看了一段话：
TheFormsof“ToBe”
TheGreekseagod,Proteus,was(likethesea)capableofchangingforminaninstant.Inordertogetanydecentinformationoutofhim,youhadtograbhimandholdontightwhilehewentthroughhisvariousforms—lion,wildboar,snake,tree,runningstream—itwasn'teasy.Theverb“Tobe”issaidtobethemostproteanoftheEnglishlanguage,constantlychangingform,sometimeswithoutmuchofadiscerniblepattern.Consideringthatweuseitsooften,itisreallytoobadthattheverb“Tobe”hastobethemostirregular,slipperyverbinthelanguage.
为什么每次提到“be”不直接说“be”?而一提be就是“tobe”,看了好多都这样.

"towork""towrite"为什么这样表示？
戴丽回答：
做主语,可以用tobe,也可以用being,美国人比较喜欢用tobe,更地道一些.
