Tips:
- There is no “it“, every Spanish word has a gender, so it is either “él” or “ella“.
- They: If we’re talking about a group of males we use “ellos“, for females we say “ellas“, and for a group of a mix of genders, we use also “ellos“
- We: there are two forms: nosotros and nosotras ; nosotros for a group of males or a mix of genders, and nosotras for a group of females
- The pronoun “vos” (you singular) is mainly used in Argentina
- Tú is used for casual situations (informal), like friends, family members or a kid for example.
- Usted is the formal and more polite way of addressing others.
Happy learning!
