Interrogative Sentences:
* Function: To ask a question.
* Structure: Typically begin with a question word (who, what, where, when, why, how) or an auxiliary verb (do, does, did, is, are, was, were, can, could, will, would, may, might, should).
* Examples:
* Who is coming to the party?
* Do you like pizza?
* Where is the nearest library?
Imperative Sentences:
* Function: To give a command, make a request, or express a suggestion.
* Structure: Usually start with a verb in its base form (without "to"). The subject (you) is often implied.
* Examples:
* Close the door.
* Please be quiet.
* Let's go to the park.
Here's a table summarizing the key differences:
| Feature | Interrogative Sentences | Imperative Sentences |
|--------------|--------------------------|----------------------|
| Function | Ask a question | Give a command/request |
| Structure | Begin with question word/auxiliary verb | Begin with verb in base form |
| Subject | Explicit or implied | Implied (you) |
In short:
* Interrogative sentences aim to gather information.
* Imperative sentences aim to direct action or express a desire.
