passive of past continuous

The passive of past continuous tense makes very easy and it’s like a conversion of present continuous into passive. Only some changes are needed.
Following is the basic way to make a passive of past continuous tense.
Object + was, were + being + 3rd form of verb + by + objective state of subject
Explanation:
Sentence: he was going to school.
The above sentence is in past continuous state and to make it passive we will take following steps.
“School” is object, so it comes at the start of passive. As school is singular, so “was” will come after school and being is after this. Then 3rd form of verb comes, as “go” is verb in given sentence then its third form is gone, and after this “by” comes and at last objective form of subject, which is him derived from he which is subject. So the passive of above sentence will be:

School is being gone by him.

You see that this is not much different from the pattern of making passive of present continuous. In the same way, we can make passive of every sentence which is in past continuous state.
