1. Hay / hay

"Hay" es un tipo de pronombre utilizado para mostrar algo que sabes que existe.

Compare estas dos oraciones:

- "Una mosca está en mi sopa".
- "¡Hay una mosca en mi sopa!"
La primera oración es objetiva e impersonal. La mosca es el sujeto, y la sopa es el objeto. En la
segunda oración, el objeto es "una mosca en mi sopa", por lo que el sujeto está "Allí". "Allí"
funciona como una especie de tema ficticio que representa una perspectiva más personal,

Especialmente en inglés hablado usualmente usamos la contracción "hay", en lugar de "hay".

Aquí están las formas de "allí" en el presente simple.

Declaraciones Preguntas

Hay un árbol en mi jardín. ¿Hay un restaurante aquí?

Hay libros en el escritorio. Sí hay. / No, no hay

Negativos

No hay una computadora en

mi habitación.
No hay cines aquí.

Por lo general, existe un acuerdo sujeto-verbo cuando se usa hay/ hay Por ejemplo:
- Hay diez estudiantes en mi clase.
- Hay diez estudiantes en mi clase.

Sin embargo, a veces podemos usar "hay" con sujetos compuestos, por ejemplo:
hay un banco y una oficina de correos cerca de mi casa.
