Within this interrogative sentence type there is a special group: alternative interrogative sentences, which are used to ask about more than one option. The interlocutor is asked to answer to one of those options. When the options are two, this is marked with a head movement from side to side accompanying the sign for each option.

    "Would you rather have orange or apple?"
    "Will you eat here or at your place?"
