Present Continuous Tense, Passive Voice

This is how to make the present continuous tense in the passive voice:

Subject + (be) + being + the past participle

The car is being fixed today.

It's important to consider how the verb "be" changes following the subject. Of course, there are three possibilities: am, is, and are. Then, you use "being," but it's also possible to use the verb "get."

The car is getting fixed today.

The main verb in this case is "fix." It's a regular verb: fix / fixed / fixed. The main verb is in the form of the past participle.� I made a YouTube video for this. Just do a search on YouTube and you should be able to find it easily enough.
