ACTIVE TO PASSIVE

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
  

Top answer

To make an active sentence passive, you need to have a subject and an object. Your sentence doesn't have an object. Please don't capitalize complete phrases: it is tantamount to SHOUTING.

No one would ever say that, though. It’s extremely unnatural.

You're right, of course, about the passive formation. I just can't wrap my head around 'what' as a direct object.
