Asking English Questions

Hi,
May I trouble someone to tell me the difference between
1. Have you (got)
2. Do you
For e.g.
�Have you got any money? �
�Do you have any money? �
When do we use each of them? :) Thanks!
One more question,
When we ask a question concerning Do and Does, which is appropriate?
Does Sarah go to school? or Does Sarah goes to school?
Do Sarah go to school? or Do Sarah goes to school?
Thank you so much for your kind help! :)

For the first question, No diference at all, it just depends on which you prefer, or even if you want to avoid repetition of terms, you can vary with them. For the second question, Does Sarah go to shcool? Is the correct form. The third person termination is placed on the auxiliary verb [DO].
Hope I could help.

The verb �to do �
I do
You do
He / She / It does
We do
They do
So to ask questions:
Do I ?
Do you?
Does she?
Do we?
Do they?
Does Sarah go to school?
Do Sarah and her brother go to school?
Sarah = she Sarah and her brother = they

(for the second question) We always use "does" in the questions for "he-she-it" subjects.
and we always use "do" in questions for "I-you-we-they" subjects. and in quesitions (and also in negative sentences) a verb never take "s".
Only, in positive sentences in the simple present tense we put "s" to the verb just with the "he-she-it" subjects.(not with the I-you-we-they"subjects.) I hope I am clear enough.
I eat I don �t eat Do I eat?
You eat You don �t eat Do you eat?
We eat We don �t eat Do we eat?
They eat They don �t eat Do they eat?
He eats He doesn �t eat Does he eat?
She eats She doesn �t eat Does she eat?
It eats It doesn �t eat Does it eat?

I teach my Ss if there is an "s" on the verb then the subject usually will not take one and vice versa. So, �Does Sarah GO to school ? is the correct form. �Does � is used as an auxiliary verb and goes with the infinitive (dictionary) form-go.

About the first question:
I am not sure but I think that "Do you have...?" is American English while "Have you got...?" is British English. |

Anna Is pretty much corrrect. Both "Do you have" and "Have you got" are correct. In America we primarily use "Do you have" and in the UK they primarily use "Have you got"
Part II- the helping(auxiliary) verb gets conjugated:
Does Sarah go to school? (to do is the auxiliary verb)
