However, it is still helpful to learn how to construct a sentence in the Future Continuous Passive voice. This article is prepared to help you learn all about the Future Continuous Passive voice.
How to Make Future Continuous Passive Sentences
The future continuous passive voice emphasizes the ongoing action that will be done to the subject in the future, rather than focusing on the doer of the action.
Structure: Subject + will be + being + past participle (verb in -ed form or 3rd form)
When forming a sentence in Future Continuous Passive Voice, keep these points in mind:
Identify the subject of the sentence. The subject is the recipient of the action and will be followed by the verb “will be.”
Determine the verb that represents the ongoing action. Convert the verb into its present participle form (-ing form).
Add the auxiliary verb “being” after “will be.”
Use the past participle form of the main verb after “being.” If the main verb is regular, add “-ed” to the base form of the verb. If it is irregular, use the third form of the verb.
Put the sentence together using the identified subject, “will be,” “being,” and the past participle form of the verb.
