What's the passive form of "when will he stop reading that book?"? Is reading here works as a gerund? How do we find if a word is a gerund and change it into passive voice?

February 06, 2015

"When will that book be stopped being read by him?" It sounds terrible and awkward.

---

Yes, "reading" is a gerund in that instance. "Stop" is often followed by a gerund:

---

- Stop eating so much.
- Stop smoking before it's too late.
- Stop making so much noise!

---

The second part of your question is difficult to answer:

---

1. Learn what gerunds are: http://bit.ly/1vwg1kz

2. Learn how to form passive voice: http://bit.ly/16W6kk2
