This document discusses the differences between affirmative, interrogative, and information question sentences in English. It provides examples of sentences in the affirmative and interrogative form, and explains that for information questions the WH- word is placed before the verb to ask who, what, when, where, etc. The examples show how sentences are structured in the affirmative, with the subject and verb inverted in interrogative sentences, and a WH- word added for information questions.
