Passive: having been pp or have been being pp

Question

I cannot figure out how to translate some rather awkward passive constructions into Spanish:

having been past participle
Having been taken out in the rain, the book was wet.

have been being past participle
He has been being driven to school by his mother.

I understand how to communicate these ideas by avoiding constructs like these, but I was wondering how to translate them more directly.

después de haber sido tomado

estaba siendo transportado

These seem to be slightly different.

He has been being driven to school by his mother. This one would almost never be used in English. - ian-hill, Jan 12, 2011

I agree, but it is the weird verb sequences that I simply can't figure out in Spanish. - lorenzo9, Jan 12, 2011

Answer 1

1. Habiendo sido tomado bajo la lluvia, el libro estaba mojado.
2. Él ha estado siendo conducido a la escuela por su madre.

Answer 2

Hi, Lorenzo!

El libro estaba mojado, se había sacado bajo la lluvia.

Pasiva: Al haber sido sacado afuera mientras llovía, el libro estaba mojado

Su madre le ha estado llevando al colegio.

Pasiva: Ha estado siendo llevado al colegio por su madre. (¡Muy retorcida!)

I made a leísmo above: Su madre lo ha estado llevando al colegio. - cogumela, Jan 12, 2011

Answer 3

Por haber sido sacado con lluvia, el libro estaba mojado.

Mmm the second one, actually I don't know it either.
