Difference "having been" and "being"
I want to know difference between
"I remember seeing the movie before."
and

I'm not entirely sure　differences of nuance.

Answer

There isn't much of a diffence in the meanings of the two sentences. Both state the same thing, so you can say either and it'll make sense. The only difference is the preference of saying it. I'd say that the first sentence is more commonly used.

Hope this helped :)

Answer

Having been sounds past tense, being is present. You won’t find people who speak English saying having been a lot..
