The Past Continuous, Passive Voice
S + (be: was or were) + being + past participle

This tense is confusing because the verb "be" appears twice. This example uses the verb "teach" as the main verb:
 teach / taught / taught

Singular

Plural

I wasbeingtaught

We werebeingtaught

You werebeingtaught

You werebeingtaught

He wasbeingtaught

She wasbeingtaught

They werebeingtaught

It wasbeingtaught

* This is similar to the causative form which we will look at in Lesson 15, Green Level.

examples
1. The book was being read by the boy. (passive voice)
The boy was reading the book. (past continuous tense, active voice)

2. Pancakes were being made in the kitchen.
He was being helped by his wife.


3. Flowers were being grown in this garden. (passive voice)
I was growing the flowers last year. (active voice)
 

4. This man was being held in a prison because he did something very bad.
 

5. She wasbeing huggedby her brother. (passive voice)
Her brother was hugging her. (active voice)

The past continuous tense in the passive voice is not easy to use. Until you know it well, I don't recommend its use. In some situations, it sounds strange.
