Answer 1

Answer:

A. Is the fox killed by the hounds?

• Do/Does ൽ ആരംഭിക്കുന്ന active voice ലുള്ള ചോദ്യങ്ങളുടെ ഘടന :
• Do/Does + subject + verb + object?
• Do the hounds kill the fox?
  • Here, the 'hounds' is the subject, 'kill' is verb and 'fox' is object.
• എന്നാൽ ഇവയെ passive voice ലേക്ക് മാറ്റുമ്പോൾ ഘടനയിൽ വരുന്ന മാറ്റം:
• Am/is/are + subject + v3 + by + agent?
• Is the fox killed by the hounds?
• Here 'fox' becomes subject, eaten is v3 (past participle of eat), and 'hounds' is agent (doer of the action)
• eat - ate - eaten (eaten is the v3 form of the verb eat). 

Another example -

• Does he eat biriyani? (active)
• Is biriyani eaten by him? (passive)
