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.

12

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

​Ustedes (Uds.)

Example. You guys are especial

​Ustedes son especiales

​So basically, if you:

-Address 1 person: Tú or Usted

-Address more than 1 person: Ustedes
