Would be ustedes because it's proper in Spanish for more than one person

Recall the pronoun chart:

Yo || Nosotros

Tu || (vosotros)

Usted/el/ella || Ustedes/ellos/ellas

We can immediately eliminate B and C, because ellos is "them" not "you all" and usted is the singular "you".

This is a tricky question because in Spain, remember that they use vosotros, unlike in Latin America. But if you look at the chart, remember that tu is an informal pronoun; if its plural counterpart is vosotros, then vosotros must also be informal. Ustedes, on the other hand, is the formal version of "you all". It is used as the informal AND formal "you all" in Latin America, but in Spain it acts only as the formal pronoun.

So if you are talking to two or more people in Spain, you'll want to use option D, ustedes.

Answer:

For the following exercise, we have to complete the sentences with the future tense of the verbs in parentheses

Explanation:

The future tense is used to describe plans or actions in the future, such as predictions or possibilities and probabilities. In Spanish there are two main ways to express future, the first one is the infromal future: IR + infinitive and the simple future which is said with only one word that is the main verb conjugated into the future form.

To conjugate verbs into future, we have to add the correct ending to the end of the verb in infinitive like this:

yo -é

tú -ás

usted, él, ella -á

nosotros -emos

ustedes, ellos, ellas -án

1. El tren saldrá (salir) a las nueve y media de la noche.

2. Los estudiantes querrán (querer) estudiar antes del examen.

3. Yo tendré (tener) el pasaporte la semana que viene.
