Then the data were presented descriptively by explaning the process and the result of discussion.Based on the findings there are five forms of English yes-no questions found in the data belonging to the Major classes of questions. Those English yes-no questions found in the data were possitive yes-no questions, negative yes-no questions, declarative questions, tag questions, yes-no questions with modal auxiliaries. The data were analyzed and some functions of the interrogative sentence were found: (a) Asking for request;(b) Confirmation; (c) Offering; (d) Asking for information; (f) Asking for permission .Mostly yes-no questions found in the data are asking for information and confirmation. However, suggestion and greeting do not exist in the data.”
