Present continuous - passive voice
The present continuous passive is made with the present simple form of the verb to be (am, are, is) + being + the past participle of a verb (washed, cooked / seen, taken).
I am being interviewed just now.
Two problem-solving meetings are being held at the moment.
Your car is being serviced at the back of the garage.
Questions
We make questions in the present continuous passive by changing the word order of a statement.
Are you being interviewed just now?
Excuse me, where are the meetings being held?
Is my car being serviced at the back of the garage?
Negative
The negative forms are made by adding 'not' after the verb to be.
I am not being interviewed just now.
The problem-solving meetings are not being held today.
Your car is not being serviced at the back of the garage.
