Quick Scoop
Active to passive: how it works
- Original sentence: Who is creating this mess? (present continuous, active voice, interrogative)
- In passive voice, the object “this mess” becomes the subject of the sentence.
- The question word “Who” changes to “By whom” in passive constructions.
- Present continuous active form “is creating” changes to passive “is being created.”
Putting it all together:
By whom is this mess being created? ✅
This keeps the same tense (present continuous), keeps it as a question, and correctly uses passive voice.
Why other options are wrong (if you see them in exercises)
Many exam or practice questions give similar-looking but incorrect options such as:
- Who has been created this mess? – Wrong tense and wrong structure.
- By whom has this mess been created? – Passive, but in present perfect, not present continuous.
- By whom this mess is being created? – Word order is incorrect for an English question.
Only “By whom is this mess being created?” follows the correct pattern:
By whom + is/am/are + object + being + past participle (V3)?
