Having been

Hello sir

1. Can we use having, being, having been as subject, object of verb, competent and object of preposition like the way we use simple gerunds?


2. is being considered a gerund or a progressive verb in case of passive voice.

eg. 'Car is being driven' (passive)


Another eg. He hates being lied to- is this in passive ( i know this is gerund but not sure if this is passive since verb here is an action verb not a 'be')

Please with all these queries

Thankyou.
