Interrogative Sentences

Let’s read these sentences:

1. He has a car.
2.Does he have a car?

In above two sentences the first sentence simply tells or states something.

Sentences which simply tells us something is called a Statement. Statements end with period (.)

The second sentence asks something. Such a sentence is called a Question.

The sentence which asks a question is an Interrogative Sentence. This kind of sentence usually ends with a note of interrogation or commonly known as a Question mark (?). In an interrogative sentence, the verb is placed before the subject.
