vosotrosHacéis

Vosotros hacéis is the present indicative form of the verb hacer for the second-person plural informal pronoun vosotros. It expresses “you all do” or “you all make” when addressing a group with which the speaker is on familiar terms. This form is characteristic of Spain and parts of the Iberian-speaking world, where vosotros is the standard informal plural pronoun. In many other Spanish-speaking regions, notably most of Latin America, ustedes is used instead of vosotros, and the corresponding present indicative is hacen.

Conjugation and form: The form hacéis comes from the stem hac- plus the typical vosotros ending -éis, with an accent on the é to indicate stressed pronunciation: hacéis. The pronunciation is roughly ha-CÉIS, with the emphasis on the é.

Usage notes: Use vosotros hacéis when speaking to a group of people you know well or with whom you have an informal relationship, in informal setting. In regions or contexts where vosotros is not used, ustedes hacen no form exists; instead you would use ustedes hacen for “you all do/make.” The verb hacer is common and versatile, used for activities, tasks, and general actions, often with direct and indirect objects.

Examples: Vosotros hacéis la tarea. (You all do the homework.) ¿Qué hacéis este fin de semana? (What are you all doing this weekend?) No hacéis nada ahora. (You all aren’t doing anything right now.) A note: in other tenses, such as the preterite, the corresponding vosotros form is hicisteis (you all did).
