you're missing the "it" equivalent, "l'" that stands for le or la. otherwise, "est-ce que vous l'avez?" should be accepted as correct. there are 3 ways to form a yes/no question in French:
- the colloquial statement form that is only indicated by ponctuation or intonation (vous l'avez?)
- the more formal subject-verb inversion (l'avez-vous?)
- the help of a question marker (est-ce que vous l'avez?)
I just wondered if there are rules about sentences that are very different but sound alike. Is it a matter of context and courtesy? It is a bit like the famous "Fork handles vs four candles" comedy sketch,- everything on the customer's shopping list was a major homophone! The video is online and great for a giggle for anyone learning English. (Find under 'The Two Ronnies').
