Why was I not informed?

[Newbie-eng]

Hi, which one is correct and why if you please:

why was I not informed
or: why was not.....

Also if a verb in passive voice (Has/Have), how it will be?

"Why was I not informed?" is fine.

I don't know what "How it will be?" is supposed to mean.

"Why was I not ..." would be thought rather pompous in spoken British English although this would be my choice if making a written enquiry. While I cannot imagine any native British speaker saying "why was not..." the most natural way to say this would be "why wasn't...".

I am not a grammarian, this is just how I, as a reasonably well educated native speaker, would use the language.

Hi. Which one is correct and why? if you please:

1. Why was I not informed?
or:
2. Why was not ...

Note my corrections above. Whenever you ask us to look at more than one sentence, present them as a numbered list.
Sentence 2 is incomplete. What do you plan to say after "was not"?

Also, if a verb is in the passive voice (has/have), how it will be?

This is unconnected. You should start a new thread for this question.
The underlined part is ungrammatical. I don't know what you mean by it.
