An interrogative sentence, which is a question, always ends with a question mark (?).
This punctuation mark signals to the reader that the sentence is a question and requires an answer.
Here are some examples of interrogative sentences:
- What is your favorite color?
- Are you going to the party?
- How old are you?
It's important to note that a sentence with a question mark at the end doesn't necessarily have to be a direct question. It could be a rhetorical question, where the speaker doesn't expect an answer.
For example:
- Isn't it a beautiful day?
This sentence uses a question mark, but it's not a direct question. It's a statement that the speaker believes is true.
