Textblob does not provide built-in sentence type classification (interrogative, affirmative, negative). However, you can combine TextBlob with simple linguistic rules, which actually you can do without Textblob as well (however very basic and not very accurate):

For interrogatives, you can check if the sentence ends with ?:

def is_interrogative(sentence):
    sentence = sentence.strip()
    return sentence.endswith('?')

For negatives, you can use keyword matching (not, no, never, n't)

from textblob import TextBlob

def is_negative(sentence):
    blob = TextBlob(sentence)
    return any(word.lower() in ["not", "no", "never", "n't"] for word in blob.words)

Affirmative sentences are typically: Not interrogative and Not negative

def is_affirmative(sentence):
    return not is_interrogative(sentence) and not is_negative(sentence)
