USING PASSIVE IN INTERROGATIVES

Active bir soruyu, passive bir soruya dönüştürürken yine aynı kurallar geçerlidir.

"Who" ile sorulan sorularda dikkatli olunuz. Eğer "who", eylemi yapan kişiyi (agent) soruyorsa   "Who .................. by?" soru biçimini kullanmamız gerekir.

Passive   :    Who was America discovered by?
(By whom was America discovered?)
Active    :    Who founded the Republic of Turkey?
Passive   :    Who was the Republic of Turkey founded by?

"Who" nesne durumundaki kişiyi soruyorsa "by" kullanılmaz. Ancak, nesneye ait bir preposition
varsa, o kullanılır.

"What" bir cümlede nesneyi sorar. Yani, "what" ile sorulmuş bir soruda, nesne yoktur. Bu durumda, cümleyi passive yaparken, özne durumuna getirebileceğimiz bir sözcük yok demektir. Böyle bir cümleyi şu şekilde passive yaparız:
Active    :     What are they doing about the case?
Passive   :     What is being done about the case?
Active    :     What did they do about the case?
Passive   :     What was done about the case?
Active    :     What have they done about the case?
Passive   :     What has been done about the case?
(NOTE: Passive cümlede "What"dan sonra gelen fiiller tekildir.)
