Uses of Present Continuous Passive
The Present Continuous Passive is used to describe actions that:
1. Are happening right now:
Example: “The bridge is being constructed.”
(Focus on the ongoing nature of the action.)
2. Are temporary or in progress:
Example: “A new policy is being discussed.”
(The action is temporary or ongoing for a limited time.)
3. Shift focus to the action or receiver:
Example: “The meeting is being recorded.”
(Emphasizes the recording of the meeting rather than who is doing it.)
4. Avoid mentioning the doer:
Example: “The issue is being resolved.”
(Keeps the sentence neutral without specifying the person responsible.)
This structure is particularly useful in formal or professional contexts when the action’s progression is more important than who is performing it.
