Los Pronombres del Sujeto

Yo: To say “I” in with Spanish speaking person and/or country one always uses: Yo.

Tú vas & Vos vas = same conjugation / Tú compras / vos comprás

Usted: The formal way of saying “you”. The way this word is used is usually when you do not know the person to whom you are speaking to, older people, people in high positions, and sometimes your parents depending where you are from.
