An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question.

A sentence that asks a question or makes a request for information (cambridge.org)

An interrogative sentence is one that asks a direct question and always ends in a question mark.( Craig Shrives)

Most of the time interrogative sentence starts with “Auxiliary Verbs”, i.e. are, will , do, does, did, should, could in other words Auxiliary verb before the Subject

Yes/No Questions

Auxiliary verb before subject: Have you …?

Did you eat lunch?	Do they serve fish?
Can you call me when it’s time to go?	Did you wash the car today?
Was the cricket match enjoyable?	Can you tell me the time?
Has anyone seen my mobile?	Did you go climbing last weekend?
Do you want milk with your dinner?	Is this your book?
Can you sing a song?	Did you receive my message?
Are you ready yet?	Have you found a new job yet?

Alternative Interrogatives:- offer one or more choices

Would you like Pizza or Panipuri?

Is she mad or just tired?

Should I telephone you or send an email?
Do you want tea or coffee?

Wh-questions?

Wh-questions begin with what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why and how. Wh-questions ask for information and we do not expect a yes-no answer to a wh-question. We expect an answer which gives information When do you finish college? B: Next year. A: Who is your favourite actor? B: George Clooney for sure! A: Where’s the coffee machine? B: It’s in the room next to the reception. A: How old is your dog? B: She’s about five. I’m not very sure. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/questions-wh-questions

Forming wh-questions With an auxiliary verb We usually form wh-questions with wh- + an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or with wh- + a modal verb + subject + main verb: When are you leaving? Where do they live? What has she done now? Why didn’t you call me? What have they decided? Where should I park? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/questions-wh-questions

Elicit an open-ended response What happened? Where do you work? Who won the Cup Final in 1997?

Exclamative! Exclamative sentences are used to make exclamations: What a stupid man he is! How wonderful you look! https://www.ucl.ac.uk/internet-grammar/clauses/inter.htm
