Question

Can anyone tell me in proper Spanish how to say "There are" in Spanish?
I need to tell five things in Spanish that can be found on a dinning room table.

So far I have
(There are) tenedors, cuchillos, cucharas, platos, y vasos en la mesa.

Can anyone help me improve this?

Answer 1

"hay" is "there are"
So just say, Hay... (with the words you just listed)

Answer 2

Hello there!
If I may join in... just to say I agree with @inowalst ! :)
(Indeed, *hay* is invariable [no plural form], so it is used to mean both "there is" and "there are".)

Also, I'd note the plural for *TENEDOR* (with final -R) is formed by adding *-ES* at the end. Another example is:
*comedor* [one dining room] --> *comedores* [more than one dining room]

Hope this helps!
Blessings
