Key Points

  • The given sentence is written in an interrogative form as the question tag is there, and we need to convert it into the passive form.
  • Active Voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. While in the Passive Voice subject is acted upon by the verb.
  • We follow the following structure in case of an interrogative sentence:
    • Active voice: Do/Does/Did + Doer + Verb 1 + Noun/Pronoun + Rest of the sentence
      • Example - Do they beat you every day? (Active)
    • Passive voice: Am/is/are/was/were + Noun/Pronoun + Verb 3 + By + Doer + Rest of the sentence
      • Example - Are you beaten by them every day? (Passive)
  • While converting Interrogative Active into Interrogative Passive Voice.
    • The helping verb comes before the object in the passive voice, (as the passive voice starts with the object of the active voice)
    • Convert the verb into past participle or 3rd form of the verb.
    • Use the preposition ‘by’.
    • Complete the sentence with the subject and sign of Interrogation (?).
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Passive form: Is the butter not licked by Sneha?
