Is this sentence a hyperbole All his money went to son.?

No, the sentence "All his money went to his son" is not a hyperbole.

Here's why:

* Hyperbole: A hyperbole is an exaggeration used for emphasis or humor.

* Literal Meaning: The sentence could be interpreted literally. It's possible that the father left all his money to his son in a will, or gave it to him during his lifetime.

For the sentence to be a hyperbole, it would need to be exaggerated. For example:

* "He gave his son all the money in the world."

* "His son inherited an ocean of money from him."

These examples use exaggeration to emphasize the amount of money involved, making them hyperboles.
