The following is a sentence in Active Voice :
Who taught you English ?
Select the correct Passive Voice of the sentence from the options given below :
Answer: D
The passive voice is By whom were you taught English ?
In the active question Who taught you English?, who is the subject and you the object. In the passive, the object you becomes the subject, the verb becomes were taught (past tense of be + past participle), and the doer who becomes by whom, with the auxiliary before the subject because it is a question.
'By who' uses the subject form after a preposition and lacks question word order. 'Who taught English to you?' is still active, and 'English, who taught you?' is not a passive at all.
