Hi,

wann verwendet man eigentlich das Passiv Progressive? Es gibt ja ohnehin nur 2 Progressive Passiv Formen und zwar:

Present Progressive Passiv: am/is/are + being + Partizip

Past Progressive Passiv: was/were + being + Partizip

Doch wann benutzt man sie?

Cheers

I don't know exactly how the rule is in general, but I could give you an example.
If you're in the car with somebody who's driving and you're being called on the phone and asked: "Where are you, what are you doing?" Then you could answer with: "I'm being taken to work".

It also works in the reported speech: "I was outside working in the garden, while I was being observed by my neighbor".
