"is being" is the present progressive form of the verb "to be." The present progressive indicates something that is happening right now in the present and is continuing. It doesn't happen at one single moment (it's not present-- that would usually only mean it's happening right NOW); it happens continuously-- thoughout TODAY. \nThe present progressive is formed with the present form of "to be" according to the subject (for she or he, the form is "is." For I the form is "am" etc etc) plus the "ing" form of the verb. In your example, both "is" and "being" are needed to form the whole verb of the present progressive. "Is" is the auxiliary verb (or 'helping verb') and "being" is the present participle of "to be."\nSo the sentence "She is being quiet today" is grammatically correct.\n\nAlso: The people who are saying that this is a gerund are mistaken. A gerund is a verbal form ending in "ing" and functioning as a NOUN. Here are some examples of gerunds: SWIMMING in the summer is fun. HOPPING on one foot for a long time can be difficult. WRITING songs is one of his favorite pastimes. \nA gerund phrase includes its gerund and its objects, complements, and modifiers, and it still funcions as a noun. In the following examples the whole gerund phase is capitalized: EXERCISING REGULARLY is important for one's health. ("regularly" modifies "exercising") WRITING SONGS is one of his favorite pastimes. ("songs" is the object)\n\nHope this helps

"I will be going to reach the school at 8 p.m." is cumbersome.  It should be written "I will reach the school at 8 p.m.". Anything that you write "I will be going to VERB" can simply be replaced by the verb itself prefaced with the future "will".  It requires no verb conjugation changes.\n\n"I will be going to sing" should just be "I will sing"\n"I will be going to swim" should be "I will swim"\n\n"I will be VERBing" doesn't work that way; you can't take something out of the sentence without substantially restructuring it.\n\n"I will be singing." is a complete sentence that you can't take a clause out of.  You could say "I will sing", but that's active and not passive voice (the linking verb "be" makes the sentence future passive).  Further, the word "singing" has to have the suffix -ing removed for it to make sense (you can't say "I will singing").\n\n*****************************************************\n":I WILL BE GOINGTO SCHOOL. ex.2:I WILL BE GOING TO REACH THE SCHOOL AT 8 A.M"\nIn reference to these examples, the first says you will be en route (on the way) to school at a particular time.  The second says you will arrive at the school at a particular time.  You'd still be better off saying "I will reach the school at 8 am" though if you intend the second.

It is not a sentence...\n\nBeneath the noted universal concerns there lies a distinctive world view.\n\n Or better yet use a semi colon after the word preceeding but ..then replacing it with however and a comma...like this \n\n" ; however, beneath these universal concerns there lies a distinctive worldview."

Ask the experts on this field and that would be teachers/instructors who had been teaching the English Grammar for so so so long.  Better still hear them first when they talk and ask them personally of the correct usage.

You can use either when adding a qualifying clause afterwards.\n\n"I like the cat which is red"  "I like the cat that is red" both work. \n\nThat sounds a little more casual/natural.  Which sounds a bit more high brow formal.  \n\nThat can also double as a pronoun.  Avoid using the word "that" twice in a row however.  "That which is wrong"  vs "That that is wrong."

Okay, this one is more complicated than it seems.\n\nBOTH "this is she" and "this is her" have been possibilities in English for hundreds of years.  About two hundred years ago, people looked around and decided that they were going to write some grammar books to tell everyone how to speak English (even though they were already speaking English).  In those books, the rules, in large part, were intended to make English as much like Latin as possible.  Therefore, the rule in those books said that you should say "This is she" because that's the equivalent of what you would do in Latin.  (The rule goes like this: when the main verb in the sentence is a form of "to be", the pronoun in the predicate should be in nominative case.)\n\nHowever, English speakers continued doing both things despite what the grammar books said.  That's why "this is her" is even a possibility nowadays.\n\nThe upshot of all this is:\nIf you want to sound super-formal and, IMHO, a little stuffy in a way that kind of puts people off: "this is she".\nIf you want to do something that most people won't bat an eye at: "this is her".

Reflexive verbs are conjugated like normal verbs, you just have to add a reflexive pronoun to the front.\n\nThe reflexive pronouns are:\nme       nos\nte         os\nse        se\n\nFor example:\n\nI wash. = Lavo.\n\nBUT\n\nI wash myself. = Me lavo. (Reflexive - normal "o" ending with reflexive pronoun "me".)\nYou wash yourself. = Te lavas.\n(S)he washes him/herself. = Se lava.\nWe wash ourselves. = Nos lavamos.\nY'all wash yourselves. = Os lavais. (Accent on the second "a".)\nThey wash themselves. = Se lavan.\n\nNow, if you don't conjugate the reflexive verb, the pronoun gets tacked onto the end of it.\n\nI like to shave. = Me gusta afeitarme.\nYou need to shower. = Necesitas ducharte.\nHe wants to get dressed. = Quiere vestirse.\n\nEtc. etc. etc.\n\nHope this helps.
