@GaryBotnovcan hello, it is interesting theme of discussing. And I have another one sentence: Yet despite his fear of being killed . What can you say about it? What kind of construction is it? I am thinking that it is gerund, not passive voice.

Using traditional labels, "being" is a present participle form, "treated" is a past participle form, and "being treated" is a passive present participial phrase. Using your abbreviations, "being" is v-ing, "treated" is v3, and you still have a structure that expresses the passive voice and continuous aspect. If you don't like passive continuous participial phrase as a label, what label would you like? | |
