Transformation of Interrogative sentences into passive voice
When interrogative sentences are changed into passive voice, their interrogative does not
change.
Examples : (i) Who killed that deer? (Active voice)
By whom was that deer killed? (Passive voice)
(ii) Is he playing guitar? (Active voice)
Is guitar being played by him? (Passive voice)
The interrogative in the passive voice takes the form :
Helping verb + object + III form of verb + by + subject + (single interrogative)
Question word + helping verb + object + III form of verb + by + subject (double
interrogative)
