I am starting this discussion for those who want to improve their knowledge of grammar. Dear learners! If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer to them.

If you mean grammar, "We can take many roles" is correct. However, I don't like "take" in this sentence. I would say "play many roles".
As to "be". Well, it is a long story. I hope you don't want me to print a grammar book here! I have just posted something about auxiliary verbs here (my last reply to Alhgag):
Dear Ben! I don't know any others except "G'morning, afternoon, evening" but they are too official for the chatroom not to say that we all live in the different time zones. I can ask for some slang if you mean that. As a matter of fact, in America "Hello" is mostly used instead of "Is there anybody here?". When we greet people, we say just "Hi!"
Dear Mulya! Hi, nice to meet you! You see, I can't answer to your question in a few words. It is a part of grammar about the usage of Perfect forms. "Have/has" are the present forms, "has" is used with the 3d person, singular (see pages 3, 5 of this discussion), "had" is a past form. "having" is a part of either gerund or participle. Here are a few examples:
I have bought a car (Present Perfect).
He has already returned (Present Perfect).
He gave her the flowers he had bought on the corner (Past Perfect).
I was not sure of having been told everything (gerund).
Having been served lunch the committee went on working (participle).
You may ask me more questions but they should be more particular.
Hi, Rmati! If this sentence is affirmative, the first example is correct. Most probably, you should use Present Perfect. The word "address" is a singular noun in the third person. So, you have to use "has been". If the sentence is interrogative, it should be:
