Question

Choose the correct subject pronoun to use in the following situation from the options below.

You're talking to a man on the street whom you stopped to get directions from.

nosotros
tú
vosotras
ella
usted
él

Answer 1

You would use usted because it is the formal singular you.

Answer 2

Correct answer:

usted

Since you are in a situation where you're talking to a man on the street whom you stopped to get directions from and this is the first time you meet this man, then you need to address this man in a formal way. To do this, you must use the subject pronoun that matches the second person singular in formal way, which is usted (also called the formal you).
