现在进行时的被动语态的结构如下:
肯定式:主语 + am/is/are + being + v-ed
否定式:主语 + am/is/are + not + being + v-ed
一般疑问式:Am/Is/Are + 主语 + being + v-ed
特殊疑问式:疑问词 + is/are + 主语 + being + v-ed
用法:① 表示正在进行或正在发生的被动动作。
例句:My bedroom is being painted now.
② 表示现阶段或目前这段时间正在进行的被动动作,但这一被动动作在此时此刻不一定正在发生。
例句:The bridge is being built by the workers from Shandong Province.
③ 少数及物动词的进行时表示按计划、安排将要承受某个动作。
例句:A concert is being held tonight.
④ be + under/in/on + n.可表示现在进行时的被动语态的含义。
例句:The telephone is in use. = The telephone is being used.
⑤ 与情态动词连用,表示对现在正在发生的被动行为的推测。
例句:He is ill. He may be being examined by the doctor.
⑥ 注意短语动词变为被动语态时,短语中的介词或副词不能省掉,应当看成一个整体。
例句:The children are being taken good care of here.
