I have heard usage of "been" other that in perfect continuous tense.

like when we are talking about past, could we say that "I been given some work"?

isIs the above sentence correct? if not why?

butBut, this sentence convince me, because it is the situation in which iI am talking about past and some thing happened on me, so in order to say that iI need to use forms of "be", but iI cannot say in perfect form because "have " and "had" is not form of "be", but if iI use "have been" or "had been" then it will be in perfect continuous, again iI don't want to add continuous sense to it, it should be in perfect with 3rd form of verb.
