What Is an Interrogative Sentence?
An interrogative sentence is basically another word for a question. Every interrogative sentence ends with a question mark and asks some kind of direct question.
Here are some examples of interrogative sentences:
What is your name?
Who is your uncle?
Are you going to function?
Types of interrogative sentence:
There are three different types of direct questions. An interrogative sentence can ask any of these three types of questions:
1. Yes/no questions
2.“Wh” questions
3. Question tag
1. Yes/No Questions:
Some questions have answers that take the form of “yes” or “no.” Essentially, these questions ask whether a statement is true or false.
Examples of yes/no questions:
1. Is it your school?
2. Do you want coffee?
3. Have you gone to Mysore?
4. Did they offer cashback?
2.“Wh” questions:
Some questions begin with a question word. Question words are who, what, when, where, why and how. The answer takes the form of a declarative sentence.
Examples of “question word” sentences:
1. Why are you warring about future?
2. Where is he going today?
3. What are you doing?
4. How is your office?
3. Question tag:
Tag questions (or question tags) turn a statement into a question. They are often used for checking information that we think we know is true.
Tag questions are made using an auxiliary verb (for example: be or have) and a subject pronoun (for example: I, you, she). Negative question tags are usually contracted: It’s warm today, isn’t it (not ‘is it not’)
Examples of question tag sentences:
1. It was hot yesterday, wasn’t it?
2. She went to college last night, didn’t she?
3. She doesn’t have any children, does she?
4. He can help, can’t he?
