Hoi Josh,

Thank you for your question ?

Hmm, the difference between "geweest" and "wezen" .. so both are a form from the verb "zijn (to be) ".

* geweest (present perfect simple)

example --> Hij is naar een concert geweest. - He has been to a concert.

* wees / wezen ( imperative / infinitive)

As an infinitive "wezen" can sometimes replace "zijn

example --> Ik ben benieuwd hoe het zal zijn / wezen. - I am curious how it will be.

Je moet voorzichtig wezen. - You have to be careful.
