The goods were ordered online. - simple past
The goods were being ordered online. - past continuous
The goods had been ordered online. - past perfect
The goods will be ordered online. - “simple future”
	(= The goods are going to be ordered online. - same rules about future as in unit 4)
The goods will be being ordered online. - future continuous
The goods will have been ordered online. - future perfect
