Answer:

Interrogative sentences are one of the four sentence types (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamative).

Interrogative sentences ask questions.

What is the form of an interrogative sentence?

The typical form (structure) of an interrogative sentence is:

auxiliary verb  +  subject  +  main verb  

Do     you     speak  English?

main verb BE  +  subject  

Were     you  cold?

If we use a WH- word it usually goes first:

WH-word  auxiliary verb  +  subject  +  main verb

When  does     the movie     start?

The final punctuation is always a question mark (?).

Interrogative sentences can be in positive or negative form, and in any tense.

What is the function of an interrogative sentence?

The basic function (job) of an interrogative sentence is to ask a direct question. It asks us something or requests information (as opposed to a statement which tells us something or gives information). Interrogative sentences require an answer. Look at these examples:

   Is snow white? (answer → Yes.)

   Why did John arrive late? (answer → Because the traffic was bad.)

   Have any people actually met an alien? (answer → I don't know.)

How do we use an interrogative sentence?

We use interrogative sentences frequently in spoken and written language. They are one of the most common sentence types. Here are some extremely common interrogative sentences:

   Is it cold outside?

   Are you feeling better?

   Was the film good?

   Did you like it?

   Does it taste good?

   What is your name?

   What's the time?

   Where is the toilet please?

   Where shall we go?

   How do you open this?

There are three basic question types and they are all interrogative sentences:

   Yes/No question: the answer is "yes or no", for example:

   Do you want dinner? (No thank you.)

   Question-word (WH) question: the answer is "information", for example:

   Where do you live? (In Paris.)

   Choice question: the answer is "in the question", for example:

   Do you want tea or coffee? (Tea please.)
