[General] He was being

[suniljain]

He was being targeted by the President.

Is this sentence a past continuous tense? I guess due to was+ verb+ing. If so, is targeted an adjective?

Having read the above, I think it is the simple past progressive passive, 'targeted' being the past participle.

 

[suniljain]

Active will be: The president was targeted him.

Is this correct?
