Can you say "hay está" together in a sentence?

For example... ¿Hay está una gorra en su mochila? Or... Hay está mucha gente en la casa.

For example... ¿Hay está una gorra en su mochila? Or... Hay está mucha gente en la casa.

You´re probably thinking of "Allí está ......" (this is a correct form).

¿Hay está una gorra en su mochila? - this is better expressed with "¿Hay una gorra en su mochila?" or "¿Hay alguna gorra en su mochila?"

Hay está mucha gente en la casa. - this is better expressed with "Hay mucha gente en casa."

You cannot use both hay and está in a sentance becuase they are both conjugated verbs.

Hope this helps

What conjugated verb is hay? - tincontro, Nov 7, 2011
hay [ah’-ee]- Impersonal form (from the verb haber) there is, there are. - TexanChick, Nov 7, 2011
That rule is for *adjacent* conjugated verbs. And even then I'm not entirely sure. But it's a definite fact that you will find many sentences with two or more conjugated verbs. - Goyo, Nov 7, 2011
Probably more like you can't have two conjugated verbs in the same clause. They can definitely be next to each other (adjacent), though. Ex: lo que busco está allí ... busco and está are adjacent and in the same sentence but in different clauses. - webdunce, Nov 8, 2011
