The Present Progressive
Passive Voice
现在进行时的被动语态
结构
A. 陈述句：
主语 + am / is / are + being + 过去分词
B. 疑问句：
疑问词 + am / is / are +主语 + being + 过去分词
表示说话人说话时或现阶段正在进行的动作，强调主语是动作的承受者，经常和now, right now, at present, at this moment 等时间状语连用。
主语和谓语动词之间是被动关系, 而且动作正在进行。
A new office building is being built in our school at present.
用法
意义
⒈ 现在进行时的被动语态表示此时此刻某事正在被做。
Look! The baby is being taken care of by her aunt.
⒉ 现在进行时的被动语态的构成： be + being + 过去分词。
① “be being done” 中的动词 be 应随主语作相应的变化。
Many speeches are being held these days.
Don’t worry. Your pet dog is being looked after by my grandma.
② 将现在进行时的主动语态变为现在进行时的被动语态的关键是把 “be
doing” 变为 “be being done”。
We are having an English class now.


An English class is being had by us now.
热点归纳
⒈ 现在进行时的被动语态表示说话时正在进行的一个被动的动作，强调主语是
动作的承受者，其构成为 “am / is / are + being + done”。如果我们把 being 漏
掉，就成为一般现在时的被动语态或系表结构。
Look! The children are being taken care of by their aunt.
⒉ 现在进行时的被动语态也可表示目前这一阶段正在进行的一个被动的动作。
Many interesting experiments are being carried out these days.
⒊ 现在进行时的被动语态可表示按计划或安排将要进行的一个被动的动作。
A party is being held tonight.
⒋ 一些表示“状态、心理活动、拥有、存在”等的动词，一般不用现在进行时的
被动语态，而常用一般现在时的被动语态。
Xiao Wang, come here. You are wanted on the phone.
⒌ 注意“be + under / in等介词 + 名词”结构可表示现在进行时的被动语态的含义
The problem is under discussion (= is being discussed) at the meeting.
The telephone is in use (= is being used) now.
