Grammar help!!!!!!!?

Question

When using prepositions of cause (because of, due to, as a result of) does it matter whether you use them in the present continuous passive or in the present perfect passive tense?

Answer 1

I think you mean this:

As a result of cheating on the test, he will get an F.

In this case you do use the "ing" form of the verb.  This is actually not a tense.  The second part of the sentence (after the comma) shows the tense.  You could make this sentence past tense by writing:

As a result of cheating on the test, he will get an F.  

"ing" forms of verbs can be used in many different ways, but they really aren't acting as verbs at all.

Answer 2

They can be used with both.  

Because of the rain, I was being delayed at the airport.

Because of the rain, I have been delayed at the airport.

You could even go to past perfect passive:

Because of the rain, I had been delayed at the airport.

Answer 3

I don't think this is in the right section. But, maybe this will help?
