Hoy quiero hablarles de una diferencia grámatical que es muy sutíl:
Así como son diferentes palabras "ese" y "aquel".
-"ese" hombre, que está relativamente cerca.
-"aquel" hombre, que está relativamente lejos.
-"Ha!" sorpresa.
-"Hay" del verbo haber(3ra persona del singular, el/ella/usted) presente indicativo.
-"ahí" adv. de lugar, el hombre está ahí.(ese lugar)
-"allí" adv. de lugar,el hombre está por allí (aquel lugar)
Quiero invitarles a este link:

They are as different words as "ese" vs. "aquel".
- "aquí" means "(en) este lugar": where the speaker is, or some nearby location
- "ahí" means "(en) ese lugar": where the hearer is, or some location that is neither near nor far but somewhere in-between
- "allí" means "(en) aquel lugar": where neither the speaker nor the hearer is, or some far away location
Two simple examples:
- "Yo estoy aquí, tú estás ahí y él está allí."
- "Esto está aquí, eso está ahí y aquello está allí."
Certain English dialects make a similar three-way distinction of distance (here/there/yonder), but in standard English the distinction is reduced to the pair "here" vs. "there" for near vs. far locations. In Spanish, the emphatic variants "acá" (from "aquí") and "allá" (from "allí") can create a similar two-way distinction of near vs. far since there is no analogous variant from "ahí" (because "ahá" would be cacophonous).

The Spanish Sentence
Spanish Grammar: The Spanish Sentence
The Spanish Sentence — Defined
Basics
A sentence is a group of words expressing a complete thought. It has two parts: the subject (noun or pronoun) and its modifiers, and the predicate (verb) and its modifiers.
The subject is that part about which something is said, and the predicate tells that which is said about the subject. The subject is broken up into the subject word and its modifiers, and the predicate is broken up into the predicate word and its modifiers.
The black horse / runs a beautiful race. "The black horse" is the complete subject, "horse" being the subject word modified by the adjectives "the" and "black." "Runs a beautiful race" is the complete predicate, "runs" being the predicate word modified by the phrase "a beautiful race."
Types of Sentences
In both English and Spanish, sentences are classified, according to use, as declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory.
A DECLARATIVE SENTENCE makes a statement.
John is a good student.
An INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE asks a question.
Has the mailman arrived yet?
An IMPERATIVE SENTENCE states a request or command.
Come back in about an hour.
An EXCLAMATORY SENTENCE expresses strong feeling or emotion.
How pretty she is!
En Español la oración esta compuesta básicamente por el Sujeto y el Predicado.
El sujeto es de quien se habla en la oración, y el Predicado es lo que se dice o explica del sujeto.
Si usted tiene más preguntas o dudas con gusto le puedo responder.
If you have questions or doubts I will be pleased to answer.
