Are interrogative sentences and declarative same?

No, interrogative and declarative sentences are not the same. They have distinct purposes and structures:

Declarative Sentence:

* Purpose: To state a fact or opinion.

* Structure: Typically subject-verb-object or subject-verb-complement.

* Examples:

* The sun is shining.

* She loves cats.

* I am hungry.

Interrogative Sentence:

* Purpose: To ask a question.

* Structure:

* Often starts with a question word (who, what, where, when, why, how) or an auxiliary verb (do, does, did, etc.).

* Usually ends with a question mark.

* Examples:

* What is your name?

* Where are you going?

* Did you finish your homework?

In short: Declarative sentences tell you something, while interrogative sentences ask for information.
