Declarative that looks like a question
So I have started to read "Catcher in rye" to expand my vocab and I noticed peculiar sentences, that looks like question, but it's meaning is declarative. For example:
"Boy, could he get on your nerves sometimes." = He is really irksome. Why not just swap could and he?
What are these sentences called?
