Question 1

How do I form questions in the passive voice?

Accepted Answer

To form questions in the passive voice, use the structure: auxiliary verb (is/are/was/were) + subject + past participle. For example, "Who wrote this book?" becomes "Who was this book written by?" or "By whom was this book written?"

Question 2

What happens to the subject and object in passive questions?

Accepted Answer

In passive questions, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive question. The original subject (the agent) can be included with "by" or omitted if unknown or unimportant.

Question 3

When should I use passive voice questions?

Accepted Answer

Use passive voice questions when the action or the receiver of the action is more important than who performed it, when the agent is unknown, or in formal writing where passive voice is preferred.
