	What about estar? The other verb to be.

	It should be 'ellos/ellas' right now it's ellos and elles which is French.

	Why was my previous comment down-voted? Vos is used, by some or all of the population, in nearly every country in Latin America. There are at least 4 countries where the "tu" form hardly exists - Argentina, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Paraguay.

	Como los conjucaciones de estar despues? How about the estar conjugations afterwards?

	Even if vosotros usage were considered to be uncommon, it would still serve as a way to see how many people know the conjugation. What fun is it if everyone gets it all right?

	Roman: Perhaps because estar is a far more regular verb (excepting that it has a shifted accenting compared to normal), whereas ser is completely irregular, and thus more challenging a quiz.

	I've taken 3 years of Spanish as well, and even though we didn't learn specifically the vosotros form we did know the basics.

	And yes you need to change "ellos/elles" to "ellos/ellas"

	eric is right. i'm an argentine, and we use vos almost exclusively. as a result, i almost forgot "eres" but remembered it from verb conjugation charts

	ISayPorter:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 16:45 GMT	-1 points
	I missed "eres" - but then I don't know any Spanish at all and the rest were just guesses.

	Ustedes son is not formal, it's a familiar way of saying "all of you are". Vosotros is "all of you" in Spain.

	ahhh 2 out of 8 that is horrible! I've been in spanish classes since 7th grade and now I'm a sophomore in college DX

	Darryl:	May 8th, 2009 at 01:47 GMT	5 points
	Wrong, Katie. Vosotros is familiar in Spain, Ustedes is formal. In the rest of the Spanish-speaking world, Ustedes is both formal and familiar because they don't use Vosotros.

	redfire389:	Jun 12th, 2009 at 16:49 GMT	1 point
	ustedes would be the same as vosotros and same for usted and tu, just a formal way, at least here in spain.. And it's ellos/ellas.. Elles would be in catalan, valencia or something

	My Spanish teacher is Colombian, but we learned the conjugation for vosotros but didn't use it. I only kind of remembered how the vosotros conjugation ended for ser but I tried every vowel in there except o.

	Journey2688:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 07:17 GMT	3 points
	In my opinion, vosotros should be a bonus answer. Also, think that they should add a estar conjugation.

	mary:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	1 point
	@Journey2688: Not a bad idea about the estar conjugation, but in my opinion vosotros is far too important to be just a bonus -- it's virtually never used in Latin America (except occasionally to tease a Spaniard - sort of how an American might say "g'day mate" to annoy an Australian friend) but in Spain it's used all the time, far more frequently than the slightly stuffy "ustedes"; in all the time I lived there I think I used ustedes as the plural of "you" no more than a dozen times. I also think vos should be added as well - it might not be "standard" Spanish, but it's so widely used throughout much of South America that I think it's completely valid - at the very least as a bonus!

	8/8 very easy i take spanish 1

	You should do a Portuguese to be verb 8D. That would be nice, I think... And change the ellos/elles, it's ellos/ellas.
