the use of "being + participle" and "particple" ??
1. Given the prices now "being put" on the website,....
(ps. this is the original sentence from journalism)

2. Given the prices now "put" on the website,....
(ps. this is how I would usually write)

Could anyone help shed light on the difference in meanings here between the use of "being put" and "put" ?
And how to properly use " Noun + being + participle" or " Noun + particple" ?? I always use the latter. It seems the former one emphasizes an "action occurring at the moment when being written"?

Many thanks !!

Answer

thank you Andrew.  I guess that Given the prices "to be put" on the website, it means it plans to take place (will be happening)...another meaning apart from the previous two cases.

Answer

You are correct. "being + participle" means that the action is taking place NOW, whereas the other option usually means that the action has been completed.
