Practise the passive voice in continuous tenses using the 'being' pattern. In the present continuous passive, use is/are being + past participle; in the past continuous passive, use was/were being + past participle. Note the difference: 'being' (continuous) vs 'been' (perfect) — a common source of confusion. These forms describe actions that were or are in progress at a specific time.
