18. Conclusion
Great job, kids! Today you learned Active-Passive of Present Continuous Tense in full detail. You know the basic structure, positive, negative, interrogative, imperative, optative, exclamatory, modals, and contractions. The passive structure is Object + am/is/are + being + V3 + by + Subject. For modals, use Object + modal + be + being + V3 + by + Subject. You practiced building longer sentences step by step and using phrasal verbs.
Remember:
Use am/is/are + being + V3 for present continuous passive.
Use Let + object + be being + V3 for imperative.
Use May + object + be being + V3 for optative.
Use modal + be + being + V3 for modal passive continuous.
