Sentence:
✐ A group of words that makes a complete sense is called sentence.
Interrogative sentence:
A sentence that asks the question is called interrogative sentence.
A sentence can ask question; as,
- Why were you late yesterday?
- Have you done your lesson.
⤳Such sentences are ended by question mark.
Declarative sentence:
A sentence that states or declared something is called declarative sentence.
A statement can make a statement; as,
- The sun rises in the east.
- The boys made a noise.
⤳The declarative sentence can be either affirmative and negative as per the sentence.
- Affirmative is when the sentence is positive and negative sentences are those those which are formed by adding some negative word after the helping verb.
Note: In the negative sentence only one negative is used. Two negatives make an affirmative.
For example:
- He is unable to do his work is a negative but if we use not it becomes affirmative.

Required answer:-

- Interrogative - Didn't the coach instruct our team to focus on practice?
2. The girls gather in the auditorium for the seminar.

3. The food packets were distributed among the flood hit areas.

Step-by-step explanation:-
Question 1
Some sentences don't possess the auxiliary verbs directly. In that cases, we need to use the suitable auxiliary verb from 'do', 'does' and 'did' by considering the subject pronoun and tense of the sentence as the auxiliary verb and follow the above mentioned rules. A question mark (?) is a necessary part in interrogative sentences. So, it has to be placed at the very end of the sentence.
Here you go with some examples!
- Mickey plays cricket.
- Doesn't Mickey play cricket?
- We joined Hina's team.
- Didn't we join Hina's team?
- You need a book.
- Don't you need a book?
Question 2
To change an affirmative sentence to negative sentence, we have to just add "not" after the auxiliary verb in the sentence. For example:
- Mom is discussing with Joe.
- Mom is not discussing with Joe.
Some sentences don't express the auxiliary verb directly. In such case, we have to use the suitable auxiliary verb from 'do'- form of verbs (i.e., do, does and did), according to the pronoun (subject) and tense. And then, "not" has to be joined with it. Next, the main verb has to be written in present form (i.e., verb 1). For example:
- Minnie sings songs.
- Minnie doesn't sing songs. (Minnie refers the pronoun 'she', so the auxiliary verb 'does' has been used)
Here you go with a few other examples!
- They write a letter.
- They don't write a letter. (The auxiliary verb 'do' has been used since the the pronoun is 'they')
- Dad went to the association.
- Dad didn't go to the association. (Since the action has been performed in past tense, the auxiliary verb 'did' has been used and the first form of the verb 'went' is 'go')
Question 3
To change this an assertive sentence to interrogative sentence, we have to just change the position of the auxiliary verb by writing it before the subject as shown below!
- They were enjoying the trip.
- Weren't they enjoying the trip?
Here is a note to remember! If the given sentence is positive, make the interrogative sentence negative by adding the contracted form of "not" to the auxiliary verb. And if the given sentence is negative, remove "not" from the auxiliary verb after writing it in front of the subject.
