All questions are sentences, but not all sentences are questions.

Question: May I have your car?
Statement: Mary drove his car.
Exclamation: She stole the car!

All three are sentences. Only one is a question.

Almost the same and the same are not the same. Questions are asking something and sentences are stating something.

Questions are a subset of sentences. All properly formed questions are sentences, but not all sentences are questions.
