Subject personal pronouns

In Spanish, this video reviews 1st person, 2nd person and 3rd person singular and plural subjects and their pronouns.

NOTE: The endings of verbs in Spanish reflect the PERSON & NUMBER of the entity that the action is referring to. As we expand our ability to use different verbs-actions, note the patterns on the ends of verbs.

A RECORDAR: A "standard" Latin American variety of Spanish uses the following subject pronouns to refer to the 2nd person:

singular informal: TÚ

singular formal: USTED

plural: USTEDES

However, many Latin American varieties also use VOS to refer to the 2nd person singular.

AND European Spanish differentiates the plural "VOSOTROS" for informal contexts, and "USTEDES" for formal contexts.
