The construction being vs. the construction's being
"You've dispeled my doubts about the construction being present subjunctive in passive voice." => noun, slightly less formal
"You've dispeled my doubts about the construction's being present subjunctive in passive voice." => a possesive form, officially considered more formal
Are those presumptions correct?
Thank you profusely in advance.
