Example of Interrogative Sentences

Interrogative sentences are those that are used to request information about something. When an interrogative sentence is raised orally, it is possible to identify it thanks to the tone used, however, when it is done in writing, it is necessary to use question marks, which in Spanish must go to the beginning and the end (¿?).

Types of interrogative sentences

According to the type of information requested, interrogative sentences can be divided into:

• Total or categorical question sentences
• Partial or non-categorical interrogative sentences
• Direct Interrogative Sentences
• Indirect Interrogative Sentences
