@Atitarev I may be wrong, and nothing wrong with to be braved or to be braving in inflected forms of "to brave". "To be brave" is an adjectival noun. What is your take?

@Flāvidus: We are talking about Thai, not English. Not sure why you're providing these quotations. In Thai, and in a few other languages, adjectives behave like verbs (e.g. they may have a grammatical tense and no copula is used (unlike in A=B sentences) and dictionaries (e.g. Thai-English) provide this type of definitions: (to be) + adjective. Before asking this type of questions maybe worth to do a small research because it's a bit tiring to give the same explanation. Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:24, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
