Talking to ‘you’ vs more than one ‘you’: �Verbs with ‘tú’ and ‘vosotros’
Nick Avery / Emma Marsden / Rachel Hawkes
Spanish uses different verb endings for tú (one ‘you’) and vosotros (more than one ‘you’).
Compare:
1. Escuchas
2. Escucháis
So, for regular Spanish verbs ending in –ar (e.g. hablar):
Remove –ar and add –as for one ‘you’
Remove –ar and add –áis for more than one ‘you’
🡪 you listen (one ‘you’)
🡪 you listen (more than one ‘you’)

Oh dear. Your Spanish teacher has completely lost her voice.
Please help her to explain today’s activities to the class.
Be careful! Different students have different tasks.
Use the cards to give the right instructions to different student(s).
Poor teacher!
Your partner will listen and make a note of who does what.
