Negative Active & Passive Voice Of Present Continuous Tense

 

How To Make Negative Active & Passive Voice Of Present Continuous Tense.

Certainly! The present continuous tense is formed with the present tense of the auxiliary verb "to be" (am/are/is) and the present participle of the main verb. To convert it into negative active and passive voices, you can follow these guidelines:

Negative Active Voice:

Structure: Subject + am/are/is not + present participle

1. Examples with "to be" as the main verb:

   - I am not eating.

   - They are not studying.

   - She is not working.

2. Examples with other verbs:

   - He is not playing the guitar.

   - We are not watching TV.

   - The cat is not chasing the mouse.

Negative Passive Voice:

Structure: Subject + am/are/is not + being + past participle

1. Examples with "to be" as the main verb:

   - The cake is not being baked by me.

   - The book is not being read by them.

   - The movie is not being watched by us.

2. Examples with other verbs:

   - The report is not being written by Sarah.

   - The car is not being repaired by the mechanic.

   - The song is not being sung by the choir.

Remember that the choice of "am," "are," or "is" depends on the subject of the sentence (I am, you/we/they are, he/she/it is). Also, the present participle (base verb + -ing) is used in both active and passive constructions.
