One more lesson from Rafa's Fan Page:

Subject Pronouns

The words "I" "you" "he" "she" "we" "you-all" and "they" are called subject pronouns. Spanish has corresponding subject pronouns. Heres a list of the English subject pronouns and their Spanish equivalents:

yo I nosotros we

usted you ustedes you-all

él he ellos they

ella she ellas they


Spanish subject pronouns are both similar to and different from their English counterparts. The differences is in 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

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

Spanish symbols:

¡,¿, á, Á, é, É, í,Í, ó, Ó, ú, Ú, ü, ñ, Ñ

One piece of advice everyone... especially if you are starting from scratch learning a foreign language! Don't try to run before you walk... It is a bit mind blowing when you see how many tenses there are isn't it! If any of you need a bit of help understanding, here is the equivalent in English... for example of the verb "to eat" ... "comer".

Infinitive: Comer ................... to eat
Past Participle: Comido .......... eaten.
Present Participle: Comiendo... eating


Present (Indicative)

como...................................... I eat
comes / comés ....................... You eat
come ..................................... You (polite form) He / She / It eats
comemos ............................... We eat
coméis / comen ...................... You (plural) eat
comen ................................... They eat

Future

comeré ................................... I will eat
comerás ................................. You will eat
comerá ................................... You (polite form) He / She / It will eat
comeremos ............................. We will eat
comeréis / comerán ................. You (plural) will eat
comerán ................................. They will eat


Imperfect Tense
comía ..................................... I was eating
comías ................................... You were eating
comía ..................................... You (polite form) He / she / it was eating
comíamos ............................... We were eating
comíais / comían ..................... You (plural) were eating
comían ................................... They were eating

Conditional Tense

comería .................................. I would eat
comerías ................................ You would eat
comería .................................. He / she / it would eat
comeríamos ............................ We would eat
comeríais / comerían ................ You (plural) would eat
comerían ................................ They would eat


Past Tense (past perfect)

comí ........................................ I ate
comiste .................................... You ate
comió ....................................... He / she / it ate
comimos ................................... We ate
comisteis / comieron .................. You (plural) ate
comieron ................................... They ate


Above are the easiest forms of verbs to learn as a starter. The subjunctive tenses are hard to understand because in English we do not change the verb form depending on who is the subject or the object... An example:

"I hope that you eat something" there are two verbs in the sentence "I hope" and "you eat". The subject is "I" but the "you eat" will be the verb that is in the subjunctive case.

It will be much easier for you to start with the present tense, and try to improve your knowledge of verbs in the present tense.

One last thing that you will see. There are two ways of saying "You". The first "tu" is for a friend or young family member, the second is "Usted" (seen abbreviated as "Vd" when written) and this is used when talking to people that you are not familiar with, or older family members and is the more respectful way of addressing them. This is why you also see two different words for the 2nd person plurals above.... the first is the familiar version, and the second is the polite version.
