Passive Voice Questions Mixed Tenses

Tense & Question Review

Directions: Write questions in the passive voice to complete the conversations on the lines below. Use the question word/passive subject/verb/agent below the lines to help you make your sentences. If there is no question word, simply start with the auxiliary verb to make a yes/no type of question. If there is no agent, it’s not necessary to include one in your question. Make all your questions in the passive voice and use the verb tense indicated (in parentheses). Be careful – other lines in the conversations might be in the active voice, but be sure to change to the passive voice when you write. Also, the verb that you see below the blank line is in the simple form. You will need to change it into its past participle form and add the correct form of be for the auxiliary verb.
