【to be + Ving】It's impossible to be going on like this much longer.
Hello! Thanks for reading my question.
"It's impossible to be going on like this much longer."
I saw this sentence in a grammar book and found the structure 【to be + Ving】 very difficult to use.
I can see it's totally different from 【be + Ving】.
However, I haven't found more example even in Google.
Please write some similar phrases so that I can have a better idea about how to use it in a sentence.
Again, thank you so much!

i think it means that something terrible has happened. the thing is already happening. therefore, you can use it that way.
maybe it can be used like this.
it's embarrassing to be acting like a fool in front of everyone on stage, but in order to achieve my dream, i ain't care about it.

Well, it's a combination of two rules, in your sentence.
1) "To (verb)" follows an adjective.
2) Present continuous can be used for unpleasant or annoying situations (ie. you see the situation as temporary).
Is that helpful?
