    Repaso: Personal subject pronouns

    singular plural
    yo - I nosotros / nosotras - we
    tú - you (informal) vosotros / vosotras - you / y´all (informal, plural)

    usted - you (formal)

    él - he

    ella - she

    ustedes - you / you all (formal, plural)

    ellos - they (masculine)

    ellas - they (feminine)

    El verbo ¨ser¨ - to be

    ser

    (yo) soy (nosotr@s) somos
    (tú) eres (vosotr@s) sois
    (él, ella, usted) es (ellos, ellas, ustedes) son

     

    Thinking about the grammar

    Remember that él / ella / usted use the same conjugation and ellos / ellas / ustedes use the same conjugation. However, they do not stand for the same subject. For example, ¨ellos¨ and ¨ustedes¨ do not mean the same thing.
