What is an "interrogative"?

An interrogative is a grammatical term that refers to a word or sentence that asks a question. Interrogatives are often used to seek information, clarification, or confirmation. In English, common interrogative words include "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how." For example, the sentence "What time is it?" is an interrogative sentence because it asks for specific information about the time. Interrogatives can be formed in various ways, such as using auxiliary verbs, like in the question "Are you coming to the party?" Understanding interrogatives is important for effective communication, as they help gather information and engage in dialogue.
