Hay vs. está
'Hay' means 'there is / there are' (existence): 'Hay un balcón'. 'Está' means something specific is located somewhere: 'El baño está al lado de la cocina'. Use hay for what a place HAS.
Hay tres dormitorios. El dormitorio principal está al fondo.
Hay never changes: hay / había / hubo.
Possessives: mi, tu, su, nuestro
Possessives agree with the thing owned: 'mi casa', 'mis casas', 'nuestro departamento', 'nuestra cocina'. 'Su' is ambiguous (his/her/their/your-formal) — context solves it.
Nuestra casa tiene un jardín. Sus ventanas son grandes.
Short possessives go BEFORE the noun: mi casa (not casa mía, which is poetic).
