USE STATEMENTS AND QUESTIONS

Test Tip
You might be asked to identify statements and questions.
Don't assume that any
sentence that begins with
words such as what and why
is a question. It may be a
statement or another kind of sentence.
Statement: What I saw was
an airplane.
Question: What is in the sky?
