The structure of Past Continuous Passive is: Subject + was/were + being + past participle of the verb
In the Past Continuous Passive, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action that was happening in the past. It is used to express an ongoing action that was happening in the past, and the subject is affected by this action. This tense is used when we want to focus on the action and the recipient, rather than the one performing the action.
We use "was" or "were" depending on the subject (was for singular subjects and were for plural subjects), followed by "being," and then the past participle of the main verb. This form expresses that the action was ongoing in the past, but the subject is the one receiving the action.
