[reveal-answer q=”569597″]Use subject pronouns[/reveal-answer]
[hidden-answer a=”569597″]

In Spanish, the singular subjects are:

yo	I
tú	you (informal)
usted	you (formal)
él	he
ella	she

Plural subjects are:

nosotros / nosotras *	we
vosotros / vosotras **	you (informal in Spain)
ellos / ellas	they
ustedes	you all

*Nosotros (we) has a feminine nosotras that is used when the entire group is composed of females. Likewise, vosotros and ellos have feminine forms vosotras and ellas.

** In Latin America, vosotros is almost unheard of, and ustedes is exclusively used instead for the plural ‘you’ in both formal and informal speaking.

[reveal-answer q=”18937″]Use definite and indefinite articles[/reveal-answer]
[hidden-answer a=”18937″]

Definite articles: (the) are used with specific nouns. They also tell us whether a noun is masculine or feminine AND plural or singular. They can be expressed in four ways:

	masculino	femenino
singular	el	la
plural	los	las

¿Quién es la profesora de español?
Necesito el libro de español.

Indefinite articles: (a/an/some) are used with nouns that are not specific or have been previously mentioned. They also state whether a noun is masculine or feminine AND plural or singular. They can be expressed in four ways:

	masculino	femenino
singular	un	una
plural	unos	unas

[reveal-answer q=”88526″]Ask and answer yes/no questions[/reveal-answer]
[hidden-answer a=”88526″]

La pregunta básica

A simple question is typically formatted in the verb / subject / clause format, or a simple inversion of the subject and verb in a standard sentence. Note that unlike English, Spanish does not use the auxiliary verb ‘do/does’ in questions.

en español	en inglés
¿Habla María español?	Does María speak Spanish?

Las respuestas

Responding to all of these types of questions is done in the same format. For “Yes” responses the subject / verb / clause format is retained following the word “yes”.

Sí, María habla español.

Yes, María speaks Spanish.

There are two ways of making a negative statement: One is to simply negate the statement as in the examples below by placing the no before the verb.

No, María no habla español.

No, María does not speak Spanish.

The other is a negation of the statement with an affirmation of a related fact afterwards as shown below.

No, María habla inglés.

No, María speaks English.
