Here's a reminder of what the Spanish personal pronouns mean:

yo = I
tú = you (informal)
él/ella = he/she
nosotros/nosotras = we
vosotros/vosotras = you (plural, informal, Spain only)
ellos/ellas = they
Usted = you (singular formal) & ustedes = you (plural formal). These are used much more in Latin America than in Spain - the latter being more informal.
