Who Has What? 有
Look at the wall: the photos are still hanging there. 有着 can present a lasting feature or possession; after an action verb, 有 can show what remains in place, as in 墙上挂有照片. The word order tells whether you’re describing a feature or a result left behind.
你们有吗？
nǐmen yǒu ma？

He has talent.
我会在这里等着他回来。
wǒ huì zài zhèlǐ děng zhe tā huílái。
I’ll wait here for him to come back.
