A descriptive-qualitative method was employed. The data consist of excerpts containing interrogative sentences from the novel *3726 MDPL*; data collection involved reading, note-taking, literature review, and categorization, while data analysis utilized content analysis. The findings reveal that all four forms of interrogative sentences—standard, rhetorical, clarification/confirmation, and indirect—are present in the novel. Specifically, the analysis shows a prevalence of standard interrogative sentences: 72 instances of standard interrogative sentences, 25 rhetorical interrogative sentences, 1 instance of clarification/confirmation interrogative sentences, and 42 indirect interrogative sentences, resulting in a total dataset of 140 excerpts.
