Previously, we learned the verb: 有 (yǒu) = to have

Today, Teacher Tiffany teaches you another usage of 有 (yǒu).

Place word + 有 (yǒu) + something

This expresses that a certain place has something, similar to "there is" and "there are" in English.

Huāyuán yǒu hěnduō huā.
花园有很多花.
There are many flowers in the garden.

Teacher Tiffany introduces many more examples of this sentence structure for you to study in the video lesson!
________________________

On the other hand, if you want to say that a certain place doesn't have something in particular, you can simply add 没 (méi) before 有(yǒu) to form 没有 (méiyǒu). 

Place word + 没有 (méiyǒu) + something

Zhège tíngchē chǎng méiyǒu chē.
这个停车场没有车.
There is no car in this parking lot.
