Best practice using the model

I'm using the model for standard retrieval task that gets relevant passages given a query. I wonder if the query is needed to take the format of a question for best performance, as I have some queries in the form of just a statement. Would the performance be worse if I retrieve passages based on just the statement?
The performance of a retrieval model in a standard retrieval task doesn't inherently depend on the query being formatted as a question. While question-formatted queries can sometimes lead to more precise results because they tend to express a clear intent or seek specific information
