18. Conclusion
Great job, kids! Today you learned Active-Passive of Past Perfect Continuous Tense. You know the basic structure, positive, negative, interrogative, imperative, optative, exclamatory, modals, and contractions. The passive structure is Object + had + been + being + V3 + by + Subject. For modals, use Object + modal + have been being + V3 + by + Subject. You practiced building longer sentences step by step and using phrasal verbs.
Remember:
Use had been being + V3 for all subjects in Past Perfect Continuous passive.
This passive form is very rare; in daily English, we usually use active voice or other structures.
