What is ainterrogative Sentence?

An interrogative sentence is a type of sentence that asks a question. It's easy to spot an interrogative sentence because it always ends with a question mark (?).

Here are some key features of interrogative sentences:

* They begin with an interrogative word: Words like "who", "what", "where", "when", "why", "how", and "which" signal that a question is being asked.

* They often use inverted word order: The subject and verb are often reversed, for example, "Are you going to the party?" instead of "You are going to the party?"

* They aim to elicit information: The purpose of an interrogative sentence is to get an answer from the listener or reader.

Here are some examples of interrogative sentences:

* What is your name?

* Where did you go last night?

* Why are you so tired?

* Can you help me with this?

* Is it raining outside?
