The study focuses on interrogative sentence types and their syntactical analysis in the Encanto
movie. The aims of this study are to find the types of interrogative sentences and to analyse
sentence structure of interrogative sentences in the Encanto movie. The methods used to
analyse the data are observation and qualitative methods. The main theory proposed by Cowan
(2008) about interrogative sentences, and the supporting theory proposed by Brown and Miller
(1991) about sentence structures. The results obtained are 123 data found consisting of three
types of interrogative sentences, those are yes/no questions with a total data of 47 or 38,2%
with each positive category yes/no questions containing 22 data, elliptical yes/no questions 4
data and declarative yes/no questions having 21 data which both types were included in the
reduced yes/no questions. Then, there are 4 data or 3,3% from tag questions in the category
opposite polarity questions. The last, there are wh-questions with total data of 72 or 58,5%.
This study expects to contribute insight into interrogative sentences and their sentence
structures, and helps students to learn syntax.
