প্রিয় শিক্ষার্থী, আজ আমরা Present Continuous, Past Continuous, এবং Future Continuous Tense-এর Active-Passive Voice-এর তুলনা শিখব। Active Voice-এ Subject নিজে কাজ করছে/করছিল/করতে থাকবে। Passive Voice-এ Object-টি Subject হয়ে যায় এবং কাজটি হচ্ছে/হচ্ছিল/হতে থাকবে বোঝানো হয়। যেমন:
Present Continuous: Active: I am eating rice. – আমি ভাত খাচ্ছি। Passive: Rice is being eaten by me. – আমার দ্বারা ভাত খাওয়া হচ্ছে।
Past Continuous: Active: I was eating rice. – আমি ভাত খাচ্ছিলাম। Passive: Rice was being eaten by me. – আমার দ্বারা ভাত খাওয়া হচ্ছিল।
Future Continuous: Active: I will be eating rice. – আমি ভাত খেতে থাকব। Passive: Rice will be being eaten by me. – আমার দ্বারা ভাত খাওয়া হতে থাকবে।
এই ক্লাসে আমরা তিনটি Continuous Tense-এর Active-Passive-এর গঠন, positive, negative, interrogative, imperative, optative, exclamatory, modal, contraction, ধাপে ধাপে বড় বাক্য তৈরি, phrasal verb এবং মজার exercise শিখব।

17. Conclusion
Great job, kids! Today you learned the Comparison of Active-Passive of Present, Past and Future Continuous Tense. You know that Present uses is/am/are + being + V3, Past uses was/were + being + V3, and Future uses will be + being + V3. You practiced positive, negative, interrogative, imperative, optative, exclamatory, modals, contractions, built longer sentences step by step, and used phrasal verbs.
Remember:
Identify the tense by the auxiliary: is/are being (Present), was/were being (Past), will be being (Future).
Use by before the doer in passive.
Future Continuous Passive is rare; active voice is preferred in daily use.
