Subject and Verb Agreement in Spanish
A Spanish verb agrees in form with its subject. In other words, a verb has more than one form and each form matches up with a particular kind of subject. The example below shows that Spanish has six different verb forms while English has just two: live and lives.
Singular
| English | Spanish |
| I live | yo vivo |
| you live | tú vives |
| he lives | él vive |
| she lives | ella vive |
Plural
| English | Spanish |
| we live | nosotros vivimos |
| you guys live | vosotros vivis |
| they live (m) | ellos viven |
| they live (f) | ellas viven |
(m) - masuline
(f) - feminine
The only English verb that has more than two forms in the present tense is the verb "to be" (am, is, are).
In Spanish, Second-person you pronouns use their own unique verb forms; third-person you pronouns share verb forms with third-person pronouns; see above for example.
Note: -os pronouns refer to a pair/group that is all male or mixed;
-as pronouns to pair/group that is all female.
Vosotros is used only in Spain.
