Corréis

Corréis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb correr, meaning you all run. It is used with the pronoun vosotros (and vosotras for a mixed or feminine plural), a form of address common in Spain and in some other communities that maintain the tú/vosotros distinction. In most Spanish-speaking countries outside Spain, the vosotros form is rare or avoided, and the corresponding present indicative for ustedes is corren.

Conjugation and usage notes

Corréis belongs to the regular -er verb paradigm in the present indicative. The full present indicative conjugation of correr is: yo corro, tú corres, él/ella/Ud. corre, nosotros corremos, vosotros corréis, ellos/ellas/Uds. corren. The form corréis ends with -éis, which is characteristic of the vosotros form for -er verbs, and the accent on é marks the stressed syllable.

Example

Vosotros corréis cada mañana en el parque.

Regional variation

In Latin American Spanish, where the vosotros form is uncommon, speakers typically use ustedes and the third-person plural form: ustedes corren. The use of corréis is therefore a regional feature tied to Iberian dialects and communities that maintain the vosotros form in informal address.

Etymology and relation to other forms

Corréis derives from the verb correr, itself from Latin currere. The form is part of the broader pattern of present indicative endings for -er verbs in the vosotros form, alongside coméis (from comer) and bebéis (from beber).

Usage considerations

When writing or speaking in contexts that follow standard Spanish conventions outside Spain, it is generally safer to use corren with ustedes unless the intended audience uses vosotros.
