I am having trouble know when to use which.

For example:

Los papeles (hay/están) en la mesa.

I'm sure it is simple. Could someone give me some rules, tricks, tips anything to make it easier to determine which one to use.

Thank you,

S

Hay means "there are" and están means "are".

Hay papeles en la mesa.

Los papeles están en la mesa.
