Learn English – Active/passive voice

active-voice

It would be a great help to me,if someone avoid my doubt in the following two sentences, considering each separately.

1) It is being cautious.(typical sentence for an animal),

2) It is being organized.(it refers to some event)

Are both of these sentences in present continuous tense (in active voice or passive voice)?

Best Answer

The passive voice indicates that an action is carried out upon, or done to, the subject.

He was being taken in an ambulance to the hospital emergency room.
The fence was being painted blue.

"Cautious" is a characteristic of the animal; it is not an action being carried out upon the animal.
