The Online Quizzes from www.studyspanish are postpon, but I expect the students to read the following information before next class.
Read here or go to http://studyspanish.com/grammar/lessons/subpro
Sentences:
1. You have a tail light out, ma’am.
2. You (kids) have soccer practice at four.
In the first sentence, “you” refers to the singular “ma’am.” In the second sentence, “you” refers to the plural “kids.” To avoid confusion between you (singular) and you (plural), we will employ the non-standard English usage “you-all” to indicate you (plural). This will be very beneficial to y’all, particularly at the beginning of your studies.
The words “I” “you” “he” “she” “we” “you-all” and “they” are called subject pronouns. Spanish has corresponding subject pronouns. Here’s a list of the English subject pronouns and their Spanish equivalents:
yo I
usted you
él he
ella she
nosotros we
ustedes you-all
ellos they
Spanish subject pronouns are both similar to and different from their English counterparts. Let’s examine some of the differences. Look more closely at the English word “you.”
You have just seen that this can be translated into Spanish as “usted.” But there is also a second way it can be translated.
There are two ways the English word “you” can be expressed in Spanish:
usted you
tú you
Spanish has a formal and an informal form of the word “you.” “Usted” is more formal and is generally used to express respect. “Tú” is more familiar and is used among friends, coworkers, relatives, or when addressing a child.
Speaking to your boss: usted
Speaking to your daughter: tú
Speaking to your teacher: usted
Speaking to your friend: tú
usted = you formal
tú = you informal (familiar)
This same distinction with regard to degree of formality occurs in the plural form as well. When referring to “you-all,” there are two choices in Spanish:
ustedes
you-all formal
vosotros
you-all familiar
Once again, the difference lies in the degree of formality conveyed by the speaker. However, the vosotros form is used primarily in Spain. Throughout Latin America, “ustedes” is generally used in both formal and informal situations to refer to “you-all.”
Speaking to a group of children
(in Spain): vosotros
Speaking to a group of children
(in Latin America): ustedes
Speaking to a group of strangers
(in Spain): ustedes
Speaking to a group of strangers
(in Latin America): ustedes
Note: usted can be abbreviated Ud.
ustedes can be abbreviated Uds.
In many ways, Spanish is more gender-specific than English. We find evidence of this in the subject pronouns. First, look at the word “nosotros.” This means “we” in the sense of a group containing at least one male. If the group contains only females, the word “nosotras” is used.
So, in Spanish, there are two ways to say “we”:
nosotros- we (masculine or mixed group)
nosotras- we (feminine)
This same idea applies to the English word “they”:
ellos-they (masculine or mixed group)
ellas-they (feminine)
This same idea also applies to the “vosotros” form:
vosotros-you-all familiar (masculine or mixed group)
vosotras-you-all familiar (feminine)
Note: These forms are used primarily in Spain, not Latin America.
Finally, don’t get confused over the difference between talking to a group or talking about a group. Consider the following statement, which could have been made by your Spanish teacher, while standing before the class:
“You-all need to study your Spanish. Those students in the other class don’t need to study Spanish. They are studying French. You-all can practice Spanish in Spain. They can practice French in France.”
The teacher is talking to the Spanish students and about the French students.
Talking to a group, use “you-all”:
ustedes
vosotros
vosotras
Talking about a group, use “they”:
ellos
ellas
Here’s the complete list of Spanish subject pronouns:
Singular
yo – I
tú – you (familiar)
él – he
ella – she
usted – you (formal)
Plural
nosotros - we (masculine or mixed gender)
nosotras -we (feminine)
vosotros -you-all (familiar, Spain, masculine or mixed gender)
vosotras- you-all (familiar, Spain, feminine)
ellos-they (masculine or mixed gender)
ellas-they (feminine)
ustedes-you-all (formal in Spain, formal and familiar in Latin America)
