NOTE:
A trick to change the voice in this tense is as follows-
Check the subject and object first. In the passive voice, the two need to be inverted.
The next step is the tense itself. If the present continuous is given, it will be in the form of 'am/is/are + verb + -ing.' To convert the tense into passive voice, we make it 'is/are+ being+ verb+ -ed.'
Let us take a simple example.
'We are playing in the park.' The subject is 'we,' the object is 'park.'
The passive voice becomes- 'The park is being played in by us.'
