Answer:
Wh- Interrogative Sentence.
A quick FYI :
A sentence in which a direct question is asked is known as an interrogative sentence. At the end of an interrogative sentence, a question mark is always placed.
Interrogative sentences are used in asking questions. For ex:
- Is this your book?
- Did you receive my message?
- Have you found a new job yet?
The examples above are specifically YES/NO INTERROGATIVES, because they elicit a response which is either yes or no.
ALTERNATIVE INTERROGATIVES: They offer two or more alternative responses. For ex:
- Should I telephone you or send an email?
- Do you want tea, coffee, or espresso?
Yes/no interrogatives and alternative interrogatives are introduced by an auxiliary verb.
WH- INTERROGATIVES: These are introduced by a wh- word, and they elicit an open-ended response. For ex:
- What happened?
- Where do you work?
- Who won the Cup Final in 1997?
DECLARATIVE: Questions are sometimes tagged onto the end of a declarative sentence. For ex:
- David plays the piano, doesn't he?
- We've forgotten the milk, haven't we?
- There's a big match tonight, isn't there?
These are known as TAG QUESTIONS. They consist of a main or auxiliary verb followed by a pronoun or an existential.
