More context would help.

An bhfuil fhios agat cad atá le rá agat?
... cad atá le deánamh agat? (what you must do)
or
... conas tú fhéin a iompair (how to behave)

no real context at all, just wanting to stretch my Irish from simple statements/questions.

do you know what i done with my keys?
do you know how to start the car?

these may be easier translated?

I'd use the conditional :

do you know what to say? Bhfuil a fhios agad cad é a déarfá?
do you know how to act? Bhfuil a fhios agad cad é a dhéanfá?


&

Bhfuil a fhios agad cad é a rinn mé le m'eochracha?
Bhfuil a fhios agad cad é mar a chuirfí an carr ag gabháil?

Braitheann sé ar an gcomhthéacs. Bhí mise ag smaoineamh ar dhuine ag cur comhairle ar dhuine eile roimh dhul isteach i gcruinniú, abair. Bheadh cinnteacht éigin i gceist ansin.

Aontaím (seachas an cló canúnach) le leaganacha Lughaidh don dá nath eile.
