💡 Grammar Points
The 'You All' Form
'Sois' is the specific verb form used for 'vosotros,' which means 'you all' informally. It is almost exclusively heard in Spain and Equatorial Guinea.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Ser vs. Estar Confusion
Mistake: "Using 'sois' for temporary conditions (e.g., *Sois cansados*)."
Correction: Use 'estáis' (from the verb *estar*) for temporary states like 'tired' or 'hungry': 'Estáis cansados' (You are tired).
⭐ Usage Tips
Skip It in Latin America
If you are learning Spanish for use in Latin America, you can safely ignore the 'vosotros' form, and therefore 'sois.' Use 'ustedes son' instead, even when speaking casually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Spanish have two ways to say 'you are' (plural)?
Spanish maintains a formal/informal difference for groups: 'Sois' (vosotros) is used casually for people you know well (friends/family) in Spain. 'Son' (ustedes) is used formally or when you don't know the group, and it is the standard plural 'you' form throughout Latin America.
