.
Have students write the correct article and gender
of the following nouns that end in letters other
than

and
a
:
1.
(

4.
(
el) microondas
2.
(
el) garaje
5.
(
el) televisor
3.
(
el) jardín

Preparation
.
Ask a student volunteer to read the presentation of
the form
hay
of the verb
haber
.
Point out that with
hay
one can use numbers to tell how many of an
item there is or are
(¿
Hay una o dos ventanas?)
.
.
That is why we can use
hay
with the question
word
cuántos(as)
which means “how many”:
¿
Cuántos estudiantes hay?
.
It is very similar to asking how many exist or are
there, but
hay
does not tell us any more
information (such as where the items are located).
.
In order to tell someone where an item is, we use
the question word
¿
dónde?: ¿Dónde hay una casa
colorida?
We generally answer these questions
with the preposition
en
.

Hay tres lápices. No hay bolígrafo.
