Spanish In A Minute!

Ways of saying there is and there are. In Spanish we have a neat little word that means THERE IS, or THERE ARE, are you ready? HAY. It's that simple. There is a restaurant next door: Hay un restaurante al lado. Or, there are many taxis around here: hay muchos taxis por aquí. Great, isn't it! You see it's good for singular and plural. And questions too! ¿Hay un teléfono? - sí, ¡hay! … Don't forget plural questions: ¿Hay unos restaurantes? - Sí, ¡hay muchos!
