It might help to clear up a grammatical point here, because you seem to be confusing forms. A verb has two voices, active and passive. The dog bites the boy -
active. The boy is being bitten by the dog -
passive. Your question relates to the passive voice, yet one of your examples "Jack is being stupid" is just an active form of "to be", and confuses the issue. The fact is that Spanish avoids the passive form, as the examples above show.
