1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: Advanced Passive Aspect

The passive applies across all verb structures by adding the appropriate form of be (infinitive be, continuous being, perfect been) before the past participle.

🔄 Continuous Passive

– is/are being + V3: “The room is being painted right now.”
– was/were being + V3: “I was being followed.”

🏆 Perfect Passive

– has/have been + V3: “My car has been stolen.”
– had been + V3: “The shirts had been ironed.”

🛡️ Modal Passive

– can / must / should + be + V3: “This door must be kept locked.”

2 Tier 2 – Being done vs Been done

is being repaired	Action in progress right now (Continuous).
has been repaired	Action completed; now ready (Perfect).
