SUMMARY:
"Someone is giving me a mug of coffee". This situation is described using the present continuous.
But, who is giving me the coffee? We can use the present continuous passive when we don’t know or don’t need to mention the doer. It’s the same as the present continuous, but without the subject.
STRUCTURE PRESENT CONTINUOUS PASSIVE :
SUBJECT + am/is/are + BEING + VERB PAST PARTICIPLE.
EXAMPLES:
“The postman is delivering the mail.” (present continuous)
“The mail is being delivered at the moment.” (present continuous passive)
NEGATIVE EXAMPLE:
Active : "We are not collecting the donations at the moment."
Passive : "The donations are not being collected at the moment."
QUESTION EXAMPLE:
Active: "Are the police chasing the criminal?"
Passive: "Is the criminal being chased by the police?"
SEEM:
If you’re not sure and it’s just your opinion, you can use “seem”: "It seems that the criminal is being chased by the police."
APPEAR:
If you’re certain and you can clearly see it, use “appear”: "It appears that the criminal is being chased by the police."
