Sometimes, we need to change the passive voice of interrogative sentences either in exams or in practical situations. This article provides a complete and comprehensive guide about how to change the active voice to the passive voice of interrogative sentences followed by examples.
Understanding Passive Voice of Interrogative Sentences
Learning the passive voice in questions is the key to English grammar. It allows for more formal and objective questions and moves the focus from the subject to the action or object.
What is Passive Voice?
In English grammar, passive voice is when the action or object is the focus, not the subject. In passive the object of an active sentence becomes the subject.
Examples of Passive Voice
Active: The chef cooks the meal.
Passive: The meal is cooked by the chef.
In the passive sentence, “the meal” becomes the focus, not “the chef.”
What are Interrogative Sentences?
Interrogative sentences are used to ask questions. They typically begin with auxiliary verbs or interrogative words (who, what, where, when, why, how) and end with a question mark.
Types of Interrogative Sentences
1. Yes/No Questions: Require a yes or no answer. (e.g., Is the meal ready?) 2. Wh- Questions: Begin with an interrogative word. (e.g., What time is dinner?) 3 . Choice Questions: Offer options. (e.g., Do you want tea or coffee?)
The basic structure of an interrogative sentence.
Auxilary verb + subject + main verb + object/remaining part of the sentences?
For Example,
Do you eat rice?
To change into the Passive voice of the interrogative sentence, We must analyze the tense, form, and voice of the given sentence, i.e., ‘Do you eat rice?
After examining the given sentence, it is clear to us that the sentence is in present tense, simple/indefinite form, and active voice.
Rules to Form Passive Voice of Interrogative Sentences
To change the active voice into the passive voice of an interrogative sentence, we must follow the simple steps.
1st Step
Change the interrogative sentence of active voice into an assertive/declarative sentence. For example,
Interrogative: Do you eat rice?
Assertive/Declarative: You eat rice.
2nd step
Change the assertive/declarative sentence of active voice into passive voice according to the rules.
Assertive/Declarative (Active voice): You eat rice.
Assertive/Declarative (Passive voice): Rice is eaten by you.
3rd step
Change the Assertive/Declarative/positive (Passive voice) into an interrogative sentence
Assertive/Declarative/positive (Passive voice): Rice is eaten by me.
Interrogative (Passive voice): Is rice eaten by me?
Finally, the answer of the passive voice of the interrogative sentence, ‘Do you eat rice?‘ is ‘Is rice eaten by you?‘
Active voice: Do you eat rice?’
Passive voice: Is rice eaten by you?
Now, we will explore interrogative sentences in the passive voice using (do/does/did), (has/have/had), with modal verbs, in all tenses along with the interrogative sentences beginning with the ‘wh-words’
Using “Do,” “Does,” and “Did” in Interrogative Sentences Passive Voice
In the present simple tense, “do” and “does” are used to form questions. When converting these questions to passive voice, follow these steps:
Identify the object and main verb in the active sentence.
Place the object at the beginning of the sentence.
Use the correct form of “to be” (is/are).
Put the main verb in the past participle form.
Rearrange into a question format, ensuring the auxiliary verb precedes the subject.
For past simple tense questions, “did” is used. The steps to convert these into passive voice are similar to the present simple tense but use the past form of “to be” (was/were).
Examples with “Do”
Active: Do they recycle the bottles? Passive: Are the bottles recycled by them?
Active: Do you clean the house every week? Passive: Is the house cleaned by you every week?
Active: Do they sell the books? Passive: Are the books sold by them?
Active: Do you fix the computers? Passive: Are the computers fixed by you?
Active: Do we organize the events? Passive: Are the events organized by us?
Examples with “Does”
Active: Does she water the plants daily? Passive: Are the plants watered by her daily?
Active: Does John write the reports? Passive: Are the reports written by John?
Active: Does she deliver the mail? Passive: Is the mail delivered by her?
Active: Does he maintain the garden? Passive: Is the garden maintained by him?
Active: Does the company issue the refunds? Passive: Are the refunds issued by the company?
Examples with “Did”
Active: Did they build the bridge? Passive: Was the bridge built by them?
Active: Did you see the movie? Passive: Was the movie seen by you?
Active: Did she make the cake? Passive: Was the cake made by her?
Active: Did they complete the projects? Passive: Were the projects completed by them?
Active: Did you break the vase? Passive: Was the vase broken by you?
Active: Did the committee approve the proposal? Passive: Was the proposal approved by the committee?

2. The ‘Wh-words’ are – ‘Who’, ‘What’, ‘When’, ‘Where’, ‘Why’, ‘Which’, and ‘How’,
3. Only the ‘Wh-word’, ‘Who’ in active voice will change into ‘By whom’ in passive voice and remain at the beginning.
