💡 Grammar Points

Agreement Rule

Possessive adjectives like 'vuestros' must match the gender (masculine) and number (plural) of the thing being owned, not the owners.

Regional Use

This word is exclusively used in parts of Spain and Equatorial Guinea, where 'vosotros' (you all, informal) is the standard plural form of 'you'.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Confusing Gender

Mistake: "Usar 'vuestros' con una palabra femenina, como 'vuestros casas'."

Correction: Use 'vuestras' (feminine plural) for feminine nouns: 'vuestras casas' (your houses).

⭐ Usage Tips

Global Spanish Alternative

In most of Latin America, you should use 'sus' or 'de ustedes' instead of 'vuestros' to say 'your' when speaking to a group.

A single child is sitting alone next to one small red toy wagon. Nearby, two other children are standing together, pointing proudly at three identical, larger red toy wagons.

As a pronoun, 'vuestros' (yours) replaces the name of the masculine plural objects that belong to a group of people.

vuestros(Pronoun)

mB1

yours

?

Possessive pronoun, replacing a masculine plural noun belonging to 'you all' (vosotros)

📝 In Action

Mis resultados fueron buenos, espero que vuestros también lo sean.

💡 Grammar Points

Standing Alone

As a pronoun, 'vuestros' stands alone and replaces the thing being possessed. It is often preceded by the definite article (los, las, etc.), although sometimes the article is dropped.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the Wrong Number

Mistake: "Decir '¿Dónde está vuestro?' cuando se refiere a varios objetos."

Correction: Ensure the pronoun is plural: '¿Dónde están vuestros?' (Where are yours?).

⭐ Usage Tips

Clarity Check

Since 'vuestros' means 'the ones belonging to you all,' make sure the group you are referring to ('vosotros') is clear from the context.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'vuestros' and 'sus'?

'Vuestros' means 'your' specifically when you are talking to a group of people informally (vosotros), almost exclusively in Spain. 'Sus' is used everywhere else in the Spanish-speaking world for 'your' (formal plural, ustedes) or 'their' or 'his/her/its'.

Can 'vuestros' be used if the group of owners includes both men and women?

Yes. When a group includes both men and women, Spanish defaults to the masculine plural form, 'vuestros'. This applies to all plural nouns and modifiers.
