In most places except Spain, you simply use the 3rd person plural, the ustedes form.

So in the case of comer, it would be comen. The ending is -en for an -er or -ir verb, and -an for an -ar verb (hablar becomes hablan).

I recently finished lesson 1.4 as well, I understood that vosotros is primarily used in Spain. In past 'lessons' with my Colombian friend, she told me that they are taught the vosotros form in school, but it is rarely, if ever used. It is proper and recognized, she told me, but not generally used in 'Colombian' Spanish. Kind of funny too, that these lessons with Paralee seen to be done with a Spain spanish flair. Diana (Colombia) never pronounces a 'll' (double LL)words (ella, llaves, lluvia, alli) with the "LL's" The pronuncion is 'eja', 'jabes' "jubia', "aji".Just thought I'd share.

Yes, my friends from MedellĂ­n pronounce the LL with a heavy JA (as in the English 'J'). Now so do I :~) - Jack-OBrien, Jan 3, 2011
