When you talk directly to 1 person you need to pick between:
Tú (when you address a friend, family member or a child). Example-classmate.

In Spain, if you talk directly with more than one person you use
Vosotros-as (when you address friends, family members or childs). Example-classmates.
Ustedes (Ud.) (when you address some people with whom you have a formal or more distant relationship). Example-Your teachers.

But good news. FORGET VOSOTROS. In Latin America, when you talk directly to more than 1 person you will always use:
Ustedes (Uds.)
