Interrogative sentences in English are the questions that are asked in conversations, to seek information. They also serve as a way to seek explanation, ensure understanding or confirm if something is true or not.

You should start your preparation for the BSc Fashion Design entrance exams as early as possible. Though the preparation time would differ based on the specific exam that you're preparing for, it is better to start at least 6 months before the final exam is scheduled to take place to have enough time in hand to go through the entire syllabus, have a look at the last year's question papers, and take mock tests. The last month must involve a thorough revision schedule to increase the chances of scoring good marks and making it to the merit list.

Students should keep in mind the below mentioned rules, while using the definite article in English sentences:

When a noun has already been introduced in the conversation or text, use 'the' for subsequent references to that noun. For example: I saw a car. The car was red.
When the noun is unique or known
When there is only one of something in a particular context, or when the listener knows what is being referred to, "the" is used. For example: The sun is shining.
To define or identify the noun
"The" can be used to point out a specific instance of a noun. For example: The book on the table is mine.
