Every interrogative sentence ends with a question mark and asks some kind of direct question. Interrogative sentences are aptly named because their purpose is to interrogate. Here are some examples of interrogative sentences: Who are you? What's going on here? Is that a llama or an alpaca over there? Negating Interrogative Sentences. To form negative interrogative sentences, what you can do is either use 'not' after the subject or using the contraction of the verb in the beginning of the interrogative sentence. Here are a few examples that you can refer to. Example 1: Have you not read 'The Tale of Two Cities'? Yes/No questions 1. Yes/No questions 2. Negatives. We make negatives by putting not after the first part of the verb: They are not working hard. They will not be working hard. They had not worked hard. They have not been working hard. They might not have been working hard. In spoken English, we often reduce not to n't: They are n't working hard. Interrogative sentences are one of the four types of sentences, along with declarative, exclamatory, and imperative. While each of the sentence types is unique, only interrogative sentences change the typical word order of a sentence and make use of the auxiliary verb do, which we explain below. Transform the following sentences into the negative and the interrogative. 1 Example: (See unit 22 .) I can dance. I can't dance/I cannot dance. Can I dance? a She can swim. b They can help you. c We can ride a horse. d He can drive a lorry. e It can fly. 2 Example: (I am; he, she, it is; we, you, they are; see unit 6, part 1, section 1 .) dVrpJ.
