[Grammar] after being notified

[dskim]

hi sir, i dont catch why in below sentence 'being' is used before 'notified'. i think if omit 'being', the sentence looks good to provide a perfect meaning to the readers. can you explain why 'being' is used here?

Re: a question about a grammar in a sentence.

'After' is a preposition, so the gerund 'being', a noun, is needed.

I have changed your thread title to make it more relevant to the contents of your question. Thread titles should include some/all of the words/phrases you are querying.

Please note my changes above, marked in red. It is important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".

In addition, please don't refer to all users here as "sir". We are not all male.

You would not have written 'i' again if you had followed her instructions.
