Singular
yo = I
tú = you
él/ella/Usted = he/she/you formal
Plural
nosotros = we
vosotros = you all (used only in Spain)
ellos/ellas/Ustedes = they/you all

SUBJECT/VERB AGREEMENT
Subject-verb agreement is a very prominent feature of Spanish grammar. When conjugated, Spanish verb forms MUST show agreement with their subjects.
¡OJO!
Since the verb forms themselves usually signal what the subject is, subject pronouns are very often omitted in Spanish: (Yo) Hablo español. (Tú) Eres de Pawling. (Nosotros) Bailamos en el club de baile.
However, they are often used for emphasis or, in the case of 3rd-person forms, for clarity:
Yo soy de México, pero tú eres de Venezuela.
Ella habla español, pero él habla francés.
