hello
I want to learn if we can use continuous infinitives in passive forms

for example can we say "The report seems to be being written" or

"They seem to have been being written"

If its possible can you give some examples. Thank you

Active: Susan is writing the report.

Passive: The report is being written by Susan.

Active: Susan was writing the report.

Passive: The report was being written by Susan.

Active: Susan will be writing the report.

Passive: The report will be being written by Susan.
