Isn´t "haber" an irregular verb for the tú imperative since it is "he" rather than "ha"?

The topic is the Mosque-Cathedral in Córdoba

Se encuentra en Córdoba, la que fue la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.

Could I say:

Se encuentra en Córdoba, la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.

Gracias

Can you explain to me? What is semi-singular verb?

Thank u so much

Does ¨reírse de¨ just means laughing at someone with ¨mockery¨ meaning, or it has another meaning?

Thank u so much

It might have been helpful to include a little more information about El monumento al Encierro. I searched broadly but even Wikipedia had nothing on it other than that "Encierro" has to do with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However, not wishing to be defeated, after much probing I found:

El encierro es una práctica dentro de la tauromaquia que consiste en correr (dentro de una vía urbana cercada) delante de una manada no muy abundante de toros, novillos o vaquillas. Los encierros son muy populares dentro de España y América Latina, en los lugares donde se celebran Fiestas Taurinas. El Monumento al Encierro es una gran escultura del artista Jalisciense Jorge de la Peña Beltrán, que representa a siete toros y un caporal a caballo camino a la corrida donde habrán de revelar su coraje. Es una obra fundida en bronce, donde cada toro pesa por lo menos media tonelada; el caporal 1,700 kg. El monumento mide 24 metros de largo por 10.5 de ancho y tiene una altura de 6.5 metros. Su existencia es un continuo homenaje a los ganaderos aguascalentenses ya que cada toro lleva marcado el fierro de una ganadería de la zona.

¡Eso es casi suficiente para que quieras ir a verla!

I asked kwiziq to search “ Meter vs Poner” to teach me the nuances between both meaning to put. It failed. Why?

I was reading along and halfway through it struck me that I was understanding every word easily. Wow! I was so pleased with my progress and then . . . I realized I was reading the Background segment which is in English!!! ¡Qué avergüenza!

¿A alguien más le ha pasado eso? Oh well, back to the grind . . . 

And now, having read-along with the audio, and failed in trying to figure out where the text related to the audio, it's almost enough to make me grab a plane and head for Seville. Well, a little more vocab and I'll be hot to trot  . . .

How might a speaker differentiate an inquiry of How is X? from What is X like?  (Context is usually enough, but both questions are common so it'd be nice to know.)
