After looking through the sentence comparison examples, what do you think the guidelines are that tell you when to use the different forms of "you?"
Write down your thoughts about this grammar principle. Specifically, write down a "rule" that you think Spanish uses to explain the difference between tú and usted.
Then check out the grammar pattern in the next link to see if your hunch was correct.
I think a rule that Spanish uses to explain the difference between "tú" and "usted" is that "tú" is used when addressing someone on an informal or familiar level, such as friends, family, or people of the same age group. On the other hand, "usted" is used when addressing someone on a formal or respectful level, such as older people, strangers, or authority figures.
