Grammar
When you ask something in a way that one can only answer with yes or no, your sentence has this basic structure:
1) the verb
(what are they doing?)
Hast
2) the subject
(who/what is doing something?)
du
3) the rest of the sentence
(when, where, what, etc.)
das Geld?
Hast
du
das Geld?
Like in English, the voice goes up towards the end. But German doesn’t need the auxiliary verb do. Because we say word for word: „Have you the money?“ (Do you have the money?).

Where was that one grammar point again...?
You may want to read up on what a “declarative sentence” is, but have already forgotten what lesson it is in. And wasn’t there this one reference to how Germans say “I want out” without the verb “walk”? Or in which lesson did Paul say “Warum bin ich nicht eingeladen“ again? And wouldn’t a list with all the pages where the word “grammar” or “hint” appears be helpful?
