Questions & Answers about ¿Cuántos jugadores hay?

Why use hay if we are asking "are there" in the plural?
In Spanish, the special verb form hay translates to both "there is" and "there are". Even though we are asking about multiple players (jugadores), hay never changes to a plural form.
Why is it cuántos and not just cuánto?
The question word cuánto changes to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. Since jugadores is masculine and plural, it becomes cuántos. If you were asking about female players (jugadoras, feminine plural), it would be cuántas jugadoras.
Why does jugadores end in -es instead of just -s?
Words that end in a consonant, like jugador, need an -es to become plural in Spanish. If a word ends in a vowel, you usually just add an -s.
