There were 200 people present at the meeting.
本句可改为:1、There were 200 people to be present at the meeting.2、There were 200 people being present at the meeting.这两种句形吗?如果不可以为什么?

present 出席的,当面的

是形容词,直接加在修饰的名词后面,其他改写形式太不简洁,也没有见过那样的说法。

present做形容词有出席的, 到场的的意思
也就是例句里是做形容词。

做动词也有出席的意思
但第一句中to be表示过去将来时跟例句表达时间不符合,第二句中being表示正在进行也不符合,例句只是很简单的表达过去的事实
