It is a linguistic expression used to make a request for information. Rhetorical questions are used to make a point and are not expected to be answered. The inversion of the subject and the verb makes it a question and not a statement. (Are you happy?)
Open -ended questions give the respondent greater freedom to answer or give opinion. Close-ended questions usually require yes/no answer or the choice of an option from a list of options.
Wh- questions are widely used to elicit the desired response (who, when, why, what, where, how). Tag questions are added to a statement to change it into a question. (It's cold today, isn't it?)
Examples :
1. What made you scream?
2. who locked the gate?
3. Are you going home now?
4. You didn't lock the door, did you?
5. The house was insured, wasn't it?
