What is a asking sentence?

An "asking sentence" is a bit of a casual term. It's not a formal grammatical term. However, it generally refers to a question.

Here's why:

* Questions are designed to ask for information. They start with question words like "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how."

* Questions use a specific structure. They usually invert the subject and verb (e.g., "Are you going?" instead of "You are going.").

* Questions end with a question mark (?).

So, when someone says "asking sentence," they likely mean a sentence that is formulated as a question.

For example:

* "What is your name?" (This is an asking sentence/question.)

* "The sky is blue." (This is a statement, not an asking sentence/question.)
