I would like to know some grammatical about Passive Present.
· Present simple: The car is washed.
· Present continuous: The car is being washed.
· Present perfect: The car been washed.
If you can explain that sentence for me and give another explain.

To make this a little simpler, passive present, I would say, means you're talking in the present about something in the past. The car is washed is an incorrect sentence. The car is being washed, is good. The car been washed is incorrect, It should be the car has been washed.

Why is "The car is washed" incorrect? Is "The car is always washed on Wednesdays" incorrect too?

If you want to say that the action is finished you should use the present perfect tense. The car has been washed. This means the action has finished. Did you really want to say this? I hope it helps.

Hi Alia,
Others has clearly explained your questions. I just add here my own thought and hope it's ok.
For example: it's 12 o'clock now.
The car has been washed (you washed your car at 8 or 9 am today's morning)
The car is washed (you washed your car ealier, may be yesterday)
The car is being washed (you are washing your car now (12 o'clock), it's lunch time girl!)
