What is an interogative sentence?

An interrogative sentence is a type of sentence that asks a question. It always ends with a question mark (?).

Characteristics of Interrogative Sentences:

* They usually begin with a question word:

* Who, what, where, when, why, how (e.g., "Who is your favorite author?")

* They can be formed using auxiliary verbs:

* Do, does, did, is, are, was, were, will, can, could, should, may, might, have, has, had (e.g., "Do you like pizza?")

* The subject and verb often appear in inverted order:

* (e.g., "Are you coming to the party?" instead of "You are coming to the party.")

Examples:

* What is your name?

* Where are you going?

* Why are you sad?

* Can you help me?

* Did you see the movie?

In contrast, a declarative sentence makes a statement and an imperative sentence gives a command.
