Questions & Answers about Hay mosquitos cerca de las rocas grandes.
Why do we use hay instead of están for 'there are'?
Why isn't there a word for 'some' before mosquitos?
After hay, when we are talking about plural nouns in a general way, we usually just drop the article entirely. You could say hay unos mosquitos (there are some mosquitoes), but just hay mosquitos is the most natural way to state that they are around. Note that you can never use definite articles (el, la, los, las) right after hay.
Why do we need de in cerca de? Doesn't cerca already mean 'near'?
Rocas is feminine, so why isn't the adjective grandas?
