In each situation, you must respond accordingly. That is why you have to respond formally or informally when necessary.

The difference between "tú" and "usted" depends on the formality. "Tú" is used when talking to friends or relatives (informal) while "usted" is used when talking to older people or a person of high social rank (formal).
