I still dont understand the "fet" portion of sa kap fet? because I thought that meant a party or birthday (birth) and I thought "Fe" without the letter "T" is the verb that means - to do,make? Why is there a "T" at the end of the verb "fe" in this express

You are right, but:

Fèt (v.) in Haitian Creole also mean made, to be done, to be produced, to happen, to occur.
Fèt (v.) in Haitian Creole also means to be supposed, to have to, ought to, must, should
Fèt (n.) in Haitian Creole means birthday, party, celebration, holiday, jubilation
Fèt (v.) in Haitian Creole means to be born

or

Engagement party - fiyansay (pronounced fee-yan-s-ah-y)

Ask me anything

Is there a way to distinguish b/t there are/there will be? I have/I will have?

Yes.

Present tense:
there is/ are - genyen, gen

(gen or genyen are used interchangeably)

examples:

There is a house here. - Gen yon kay la.

There's a woman in the car. - Genyen yon fanm nan machin nan.

There are many cars on the road. - Genyen anpil machin la dou wout la.

Future tense:
For the future tense, use either ap or pral.
there will be - pral genyen, pral gen or ap gen, ap genyen
examples
There will be many people here.
Pral gen anpil moun la.

There will be dancing.
Pral gen danse.

There will be a lot food at the party.
Ap genyen anpil manje nan fèt la.

The same form goes for Past Tense:
Use the paste tense determiner te
examples
There was a man here.
Te gen yon mesye la.

There were many people at the party.
Te gen anpil moun nan fèt la.

There was a book on the the table.
Te gen yon liv sou tab la.

Same goes when using would, should, could

would - ta
could - ka
should - ta dwe

example:
There would have been a fight if I wasn't there.
Ta gen yon batay si m pa te la.

There should be enough food for everyone.
Ta dwe gen ase manje pou tout moun

There may be another dog in the backyard.
Ka gen yon lò chyen nan lakou a.

And if you need to put these sentences into the negative form,
place 'pa' in front of the sentence. 'pa' is the determiner for the negative form.
examples:
Another way to say there's no, there are no..., there's nothing (in the present tense) is NANPWEN

Pa gen pèsonn / Pa gen moun
Nanpwen pèsonn / Nanpwen moun
