Common misconception
To make a verb negative in Spanish, you have to add an additional verb, like 'do not' or 'does not', like in English.
In Spanish, no extra verb is necessary. You just add 'no' before the verb. This works for any verb and person.
Teacher tip
Pupils could practise the use of 'en la clase hay' and 'la clase tiene' with additional objects of vocabulary they know and use the classroom around them for inspiration.
