would be: was being redecorated (past continuous passive) and has been redecorated (present perfect
passive).

2. Let's go; we are not wanted here.

➪ We need the present simple passive of the verb want: present simple of be (are) + past participle
(wanted).

➪ The two other choices are incorrect.

➪ Were been watched is an incorrect form; the past continuous of the verb be is were being (NOT were
been).
