May 13, 2021 at 18:53 comment added MaximPro @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.
Jan 10, 2019 at 16:13 comment added Gary Botnovcan Well, yes. You have a phrase that contains two words. Each word deserves a label on its own, and the structure deserves a label. 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?
Jan 10, 2019 at 15:06 comment added Sikandar Hussain Abro according to you it is either gerund or present participle but they both used v+ing only but in my above sentence they used v+ing + v3.
