Free printable A1 Spanish worksheet on hay vs estar: location, articles, negatives and questions, with answers. Ideal for class or home study.
Start by writing two sentences on the board, 'Hay un banco en la plaza' and 'El banco está en la plaza', and ask learners what changes. The most common mistakes are using hay with el/la or with names and possessives (*Hay el perro, *¿Dónde hay mi móvil?) and forgetting the plural están. As a follow-up, learners can describe their bedroom or neighbourhood to a partner using hay for what exists and está/están for where things are.
