When you are talking to a young person and mention another person who is older (and vice versa, speaking to an older person and mention a younger person), but refer to the people as you, which verb choice should you use, vosotros or ustedes?  

Examples: 

John (older person) and you (child) are going to the store tomorrow. How to translate You (both) are going to the store tomorrow (speaking to a child when the older person is not present)?

You (older person) and Maria (child) are going to the store tomorrow. How to translate You (both) are going to the store tomorrow (speaking to the older person when the child is not present)? 

Also, does it matter which form is used (vosotros or ustedes) whether or not both people are present (both older person and child)?

Hola Inma,

I can't understand the meaning of the phrase "lo suyo sería buscar un trabajo remoto". Can you, please explain?

Un salydo

Ελισάβετ

Part of a sentence in the above exercise says "Donde se encerraba a los enemigos del castillo" Should encerraba not be plural i.e. encerraban? Is it singular because " a los enemigos" is indirect? I'm confused. Why not fueron encerrados?

I need to listen at a lower level than this.  Can we go back to the beginning?

Why is it "soy feliz" and not "estoy"?

I would have written the correct answer but I thought I'd try using 'hermanita' is it sounded more loving to me. Would that be incorrect?

Would my answer (quiénes) be correct if I didn't have the accent? If not, can you explain why not? The correct answer was shown as "que" 

The answer given is in the present tense... llamo     but I think it should be either in the future or present subjunctive.  Please explain

Hola todos,
in the examples like Nuria has lived in California for 3 months, shouldn't it be: Nuria has been living in California for 3 months to express that it is still ongoing?
In the test I was similarly irritated with the sentence I have lived on a boat for 4 weeks, which I would translate as He vivido en un barco por 4 semanas, but the only option making sense was the one having the form explained in this lesson.
Of course I may be wrong, English isn't my first language.

I just took a quiz that included this (correct) answer: "ya sea salado o dulce" to complete the sentence "Me encanta la cocina francesa...." Why doesn't the 1st adjective change to agree in gender with "cocina"? I picked it anyway, as there was no option with "salada" (and it was the best available  option) but it still struck me as incorrect.
