Thank you very much Mister Micawber,

I have been racking my brain tissues hard but I still have not gotten it that the first one was not correct. I would like to know the error(s).

Many thanks

I would like to know the error(s).
What can I say, beyond that 'we don't form the perfect continuous with two present participles'; perfect aspects take the past participle:

Have done
Had done
Have been done
Had been done
Have been being done
Had been being done
Having done
Having been done
Will have been done
Will have been b
