Although interrogatives (SYNTAX 1.2) are the canonical way to ask questions, also declaratives can be used to this effect. For example, the speech act associated to the declarative sentence ‘I would like to know your address’ is the same as the one associated to the interrogative sentence ‘What is your address?’.
