only transitive verbs can be put into passive.
There is no rule that q must be followed by u in all circumstances. This is merely true in the vast majority of circumstances, and it goes back to Latin.
The early Latins had three different letters for the [k] sound: C K Q. However, they only had one letter to represent the [u] and [w] (or [v]) sounds: V. It became customary to write the sequence [kw] (which is fairly common in Latin) as QV and all other instances of [k] as C. (K dropped out of use in most words.) This usage survived into most other European languages that were written with the Latin alphabet, though eventually the letter V was differentiated into U and V, and the accepted spelling of [kw] became QU.
Words spelled with Q without U are generally more recent additions to English, and often represent words borrowed from Semitic languages. Those languages are written with non-Latin alphabets and often have more than one [k]-like sound. When transliterating these scripts, K is usually used for [k], and Q for another sound such as [q], a uvular, "guttural k". In romanizations of Chinese Q is also used for a sound similar to the English "ch".

Communicating Effectively:
In this video Dr. Sridhar Pappu shows how to Communicate Effectively by showing audio, video, email and newspaper excerpts where seemingly minor mistakes could convey drastically different messages.
He talks about why it is important to understand the bigger picture of a topic, understand the audience and pay attention to details in order to communicate effectively – both in oral and written forms.
He shows some very common mistakes made by most people in using such words and phrases as “few”, “a few”, “the few”, “little”, “a little” and “the little” and how the wrong usage could communicate the exact opposite of the intended message.
