Welcome to Simply Grammatical -4!

We were discussing Present Progressive Tense right?

Examples of Present Continuous or Progressive Tense :

1)Sizuka is baking a cake .🎂

2)Giyan is beating Nobita.🤣

3)Dengi Suki is doing his homework.📖

4)I am writing  an educational blog.📜

5)They are playing Cricket.🏏

6)The birds are flying .🕊🕊🕊🕊

Can you spot one intransitive Verb from the above examples ?

                                     ?? ............????🤔

Yes, in the last example 'flying' has been used as an intransitive Verb.

Can you tell me an instance where 'flying ' can be used as a transitive Verb?😇

Yeah...You have to add an object ,

Let me tell you "The boy is flying a kite."

Now ,what's the format of Present Continuous Tense?

Sub+is /am/are+ V1+ing(*Whenever you see '-ing' with a Verb you can conclude immediately that it is one of the Continuous /Progressive Tenses)

The examples 1to 5 contain transitive Verbs hence they will have their Passive couplets:

1)A cake is being baked by Sizuka .

2)Nobita  is being beaten by Giyan.

3)His homework is being done by Dengi Suki .

4)An educational blog is being written by me.

5)Cricket is being played by them.

Format: Object+is/am/are being +V1 +ing

* As discussed earlier in Passive Voice all the Verbs are in third form .

bake- baked-baked;beat-beat- beaten ;do-did-done;write-wrote-written;play-played-played.
