Tenses of Saber

I think I remember from my high school days that saber has a different meaning than "to know" in one of its tenses, I think one of the past tenses has a different meaning when translated to English but I'm not sure. It might have been for a negative construction of saber, to mean I don't remember rather than I don't know. I haven't come across any grammar rules that mention this since high school, but I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Thanks

Hola, I'm very confused about the difference between debe haber; debe de haber; debe ser; debe de ser; debe tener. Is there a lesson on these?

¡Tenga el cambio! -translation?I thought "¡Tenga el cambio!" would mean "have the change", not "here's the change". Can it mean both?

La familia es/está?

I wrote "La familia está" since it seems to discuss a relationship. The correct answer is given as "La familia es". So, "es" seems to be a strong opinion. Couldn't both be correct?

Also, the issue with my answer doesn't really relate to plural versus singular ("es" vs "está").

Why is it "va a" and not "vas a" when using gustarse

Hi!

I noticed that when writing that "you" like something, you change the tú form from "vas a" to "va a" even though you are writing that "you" will like something. For example, the sentence "you are going to like this therapy" is written as "Te va a gustar...." instead of "Te vas a gustar..." even though you are not instructed to write in usted form. Could someone please explain why this is?

Thank you!

Está vs Hay quizOne of my quiz questions was:

¿Dónde_____una floristería, por favor?

I answered "está" but it's saying it's "hay" even though the examples shown in the lesson show

¿Dónde está el parque?

Why was I incorrect?

Valdrás la pena o valdrá la pena

In the sentence: my girlfriend says that you will be worth it. Why would you use valdrás, instead of valdrá la pena? You are not valuing it, you are just worth it.
