Questions & Answers about ¿Dónde van a acampar ustedes?

How does the phrase van a acampar translate to "are going to camp"?
This sentence uses the near future formula: a conjugated form of ir (to go) + a + an infinitive (an unchanged verb). Here, van is the form of ir that matches ustedes, followed by a, and then the infinitive acampar (to camp).
Why is ustedes at the very end of the sentence?
In Spanish questions, the subject (the person doing the action, like ustedes) usually goes after the entire verb phrase. English splits the verbs to say "Where are you going to camp?", but Spanish keeps the verbs together and puts the subject at the end: "Where are going to camp you?".
I learned that tú means "you". Why are we using ustedes here?
Tú is singular, used when talking to just one person. Ustedes is plural, used when talking to two or more people (like "you guys" or "y'all"). Because this is Latin American Spanish, ustedes is the standard word for a plural "you" in every situation.
Why does Dónde have an accent mark over the "o"?
In Spanish, question words (like dónde, qué, and cómo) always get an accent mark when they are used to ask a question. This helps tell them apart from the same words when they are used normally in statements.
