Past Progressive Tense?

[Jennifer Nevsky]

In the sentence Susan was chosen as president of her class, is "was chosen" the past progressive tense? Is there a past progressive tense using was and the past particle. If not, what verb form is was chosen?

Is there a past progressive tense using was and the past particle?

Of course there is:

I was being chosen. This is the so-called Past Continuous Passive
