Hello,


I'm trying to write a passive form of the following sentence:

- His antics kept annoying me.


And I'm wondering which of them is correct:

1a. I got kept annoyed with his antics.

1b. I got kept getting annoyed with his antics.

1c. I kept getting annoyed with his antics.

1d. I kept being annoyed with his antics.

1e. I was kept getting annoyed with his antics.

1f. I was kept being annoyed with his antics.


Thank you in advance for any input

1c. I kept getting annoyed with his antics.  OK.

1d. I kept being annoyed with his antics.  OK, but not great.

1e. I was kept getting annoyed with his antics.  No.  was kept getting won't work.

1f. I was kept being annoyed with his antics.  No.  was kept being won't work.
