Bidding : (W) 1NT - 2♣ (- 2♥ - 4♥)
Many Novice players will respond with 3♠, after all you have 5 spades. The smarter bid however is to bid Stayman 2♣ first ! This way you can check on Opener's 4-card heart suit if he has one.
If Opener replies in the negative (2♦) you bid 3♠ at your next turn ! (This shows that you have 5 spades and 4 hearts.)
