 Hi,

Please say 'Please' when you ask for help.  

 

my school is having a big hall.


is this santance correct? No.

 

My school has a big hall.


No English sentence is correct unless it starts with a capital letter.

"my school in big hall" is not a sentence.  It needs a verb.  It also needs a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end. (Did you read Clive's post?)


Do you mean to say "My school is in a big hall"?  That is a sentence, but it does not have the same meaning as "My school has a big hall."


Please make your questions more clear.  When you simply post a phrase it is difficult to guess what kind of help you are looking for.
