    • Usted and ustedes are commonly abbreviated in writing, ud and uds. They are NOT interchangeable.
    • is the familiar form used when addressing friends, relatives, children, animals or anyone with whom you are on a first-name basis.
    • Usted is the formal form used to address people for the first time, in business situations, and with someone you might not know well.

    • clarify ambiguity on the third person forms =
      • Ella tiene el libro. She has the book.
