Perfective Verb + جا رہا ہے

A Passive Action in Progress

Level 4

Use the first participle for the passive, then mark progress on جانا.

How It Works

The sequence has two different jobs: the perfective participle supplies the passive shape, while جا رہا supplies ongoing aspect.

Change the copula for a past scene: چھاپی جا رہی تھی. The printing was underway at that time; the sentence does not itself say it was completed.

In the illustrated unmarked-subject pattern, masculine plural items take forms such as بنائے جا رہے ہیں. Keep all parts of the verb phrase consistent with the same subject.

Examples (4)

  1. نئی کتاب چھاپی جا رہی ہے۔

    The new book is being printed.

    The subject is feminine singular.

  2. پل کی مرمت کی جا رہی ہے۔

    The bridge is being repaired.

    Feminine مرمت controls کی and رہی in this noun-plus-verb predicate.

  3. بچوں کے لیے کھلونے بنائے جا رہے ہیں۔

    Toys are being made for the children.

    Masculine plural کھلونے controls the passive phrase.

  4. جب ہم پہنچے، سامان اتارا جا رہا تھا۔

    When we arrived, the luggage was being unloaded.

    The past copula locates the ongoing event at the arrival time.
