The verb "有 (yŏu)" is commonly used to show ownership, or that a certain place has something. 

In today's lesson, Teacher Ellie shows you how to use the verb "有 (yŏu)" as "within a time frame something happened or will occur".

The structure is:

Time word + "有 (yŏu)" + something

Míngtiān yŏu yǔ.
明天有雨.
It will rain tomorrow.

Zhè zhōumò yǒu 007 de xīn diànyǐng Skyfall.
这周末有007的新电影Skyfall.
There is the new 007 movie Skyfall on this weekend.

"电影 (diànyǐng)" = movie
________________________

Wǎnshàng yǒu yīnyuèjù.
晚上有音乐剧.
There are musicals at night.

音乐剧 (yīnyuèjù) = musical
________________________

èr yuè yǒu Bāxī kuánghuānjié.
二月有巴西狂欢节是.
Brazilian carnival is in February. 

欢节是 (kuánghuānjié) = carnival festival
________________________

If you want to say within a time frame that something didn't happen, or will not occur in the future, you can use the structure:

time word + 没有 (méiyŏu) + something

For example:

Qùnián méiyǒu hǎo diànyǐng.
去年没有好电影.
There were not any good movies last year.

Zhè zhōu méiyǒu huìyì.
这周没有会议.
There is no meeting this week.

Zhè zhōumò méiyǒu zhāopìnhuì.
这周末没有招聘会.
There's no job fair this weekend.

招聘会 (zhāopìnhuì) = job fair
