Is there: Il y a t-il?
Have we: Avons nous?
Haven't we: N'avons nous pas?
Eventhough you can do a direct translation and assuming you're talking about "questions tags", those are simply not used in French the way there are in English i.e. conjugated.
For example:
We booked a hotel, haven't we?
There isn't a hotel in this town , is there?
We haven't a room with a view, have we?
All these questions tags would be replaced by the following fixed phrase: N'est-ce pas? which means isn't it?

I'm french and I can help you so :
Is there : "Y a - t'il" (question)
Have we : "Avons nous" ( it suppose to be a question)
Haven't we : "N' avons nous pas" (same thing)
I hope it's clear fro you. I agree french is a hard language but a so nice one.

Is there...? (beginning of a question) Y'a t'il?
...is there. (end of a statement) est là.
Avons-nous
usually: nous avons..., n'est-ce pas?
