let's talk about locating helping
verbs, linking verbs and main verbs,
as well as separating the subject and
predicate in interrogative
sentences.
what is an interrogative sentence?

An Interrogative sentence asks a
question and always ends with a
question mark.
A sentence that asks a question
separates the helping verb or
linking verb from the main verb.
The subject in an Interrogative
sentence splits up the helping verb
or linking verb and the main verb.
