We usually used the indefinite article (un, une, des) with il y a. Examples: il y a une plume sur la table. Il y a un crayon sur la table. Il y a des plumes et des crayons sur la table. The negative of il y a is iln'y a pas. The indefinite article (un une, des) becomes de or d' after this negative expression. This corresponds to the English word 'any.'
