Questions & Answers about Ustedes comparten el desayuno con los chicos.
Since compartir is an "-ir" verb, why does it end in "-en" (comparten) instead of "-in"?
What exactly does ustedes mean in Latin American Spanish?
Ustedes is the plural form of "you", similar to "you all" or "you guys" in English. In Latin America, ustedes is the only word used to say "you" to a group of people, whether you are talking to close friends or to people you need to treat formally.
Why is there an el before desayuno?
In English, we just say "share breakfast", but Spanish frequently requires definite articles (like el, which means "the") when talking about meals, general concepts, or habits. So, you must say el desayuno (literally "the breakfast").
Could los chicos also mean "the kids" or "the children"?
