How to use haber in the affirmative commands
Haber has almost no practical imperative. Since it is an auxiliary or an impersonal verb, you do not tell someone to "have" in this sense. The table shows usted and nosotros forms (haya, hayamos), but they appear mainly in fixed or formal wishes, such as "Haya paz" (Let there be peace). For real instructions, use "hay que" or tener: "Hay que llegar temprano."
Examples
Haya paz en esta casa, por favor.
Let there be peace in this house, please.
Hayamos terminado o no, a las seis nos vamos.
Whether we've finished or not, we're leaving at six.
Hay que llegar temprano mañana.
We have to get there early tomorrow.
