"Is you have driven in the desert?" is an example of bad English. The correct sentence would read, "Have you driven in the desert?" That is the proper way of phrasing a question in English. It is a compound verb. The verb phrase is have driven, is a compound verb which is interrupted by the word "you." So in its correct form, yes it is an interrupted verb phrase.

A question in English begins with a verb. Foreigners are confused by the use of the verb "do" in English. When there is a question but the verb is not compound, English uses the verb "do" when the sentence must begin with a verb. Instead of saying, "Know you him?" English says, "Do you know him?" In that case the term "do" is meaningless. It simply allows the sentence to start with a verb.
