Ella canta. Tú bailas.
• Here are the Spanish subject pronouns:
Singular Plural
yo (I) nosotros (we, masculine or mixed)
tú (you, familiar) nosotras (we, feminine)
usted (you, formal) vosotros (you, familiar plural, masculine or mixed)
él (he) vosotras (you, familiar plural, feminine)
ella (she) ustedes (you, formal plural)
ellos (they, masculine or mixed)
ellas (they, feminine)
• Vosotros and vosotras are primarily used in Spain.
• Usted and ustedes are formal forms that are used with people you address with a
title, such as señor and doctor.
• In Latin America, ustedes is also used when addressing two or more people you
call tú individually.
