In the last lesson, we looked at the present passive (am / is / are) and the past passive (were / was). Here we will look at the other two types of passive sentences: the present continuous passive and the past continuous passive.
Present Continuous Passive
"Continuous," when we're talking about grammar, means that an action is still being done. The present continuous passive is a passive sentence that is talking about something that is happening right now.
The present continuous passive uses "am / is / are" + "being" + past participle.
| Subject | "am / is / are" | being | past participle | by + noun |
| The students | are | being | taught | by the professor. |
Past Continuous Passive
