This, so frequent in the Spanish language, is one of the many doubts that appear when we read or when we write, if we are not clear about the differences between one word and the other, we will surely make mistakes.
We will see each of the words that present doubts, with their respective meanings and uses, examples in phases and sentences so that it is very clear what is the difference between find, there is, there and there.

Instructions
- We will see the meanings of these four words that present doubts and therefore generate spelling errors: find, there is, there and there. With application examples you will be able to remember the differences between them.
- HALLA: The word finds is indicates an action. It comes from the verb to find and corresponds to the third person singular of the present of the Indicative Mood: He or she finds.
- To find means to find something that is being searched for. For example: He who searches carefully always finds what he does not find.

The bone called “frontal” is located in the anterior part – top of the head. All these cases in which an allusion is made to a place can replace the verb to find or to be found by

Or: Find (you) the hidden flavors in a good wine by drinking it slowly. In all these cases the action “find” refers to “finding” something: finding a place, finding something lost, finding an answer, finding the aromas of wine, etc.
- HAYA: Do not confuse “haya” which comes from the verb “to have” with “find” which comes from the verb “find” as we already explained. Haya corresponds to the first and third person singular of the Present Subjunctive Mood: Surely you are thinking that I have stolen those flowers. (First person) Or: It is not uncommon for him to have eaten (Third person).
- It can also be used in impersonal sentences like: I hope my friend has arrived. Maybe there’s something we can do for her. Do you think she hit herself ?

Her affection for her nanny died, every time she remembered her, tears ran down her face. Her governess was a mature, sweet and wise woman, she could never forget her teachings. Each governess is part of the childhood of someone who will never be able to forget her.
- THERE: It is an adverb that indicates a distant and indeterminate place. There he was standing waiting for someone to see him. It can be preceded by some prepositions, for example: He came from there just to see you. We went there instead of waiting.
- It can also be combined with other adverbs: You went too far and you know I don’t like to lose sight of you. If you can, place yourself further so that you appear in the photo. I remember it far away, as if a lifetime had passed.
