The present continuous passive voice describes actions that are happening now or in the future to the subject. It uses the form of "be" plus the present participle of the main verb. Examples show that in the passive voice the subject receives the action ("the book is being read"), while in the active voice the subject performs the action ("the young man is reading the book"). The passive voice emphasizes what is happening to the subject, while the active voice emphasizes who or what is performing the action.
