To ask how old one is, you would say, "Cuantos Anos Tienes." How do you ask that when there is more than one person you are asking?

To ask how old one is, you would say, "Cuantos Anos Tienes." How do you ask that when there is more than one person you are asking?

One of the requirements of this site is that you make your own attempts, we don't just hand you answers. I know you got away with it on your first questron, but sometimes someone slips up.

¿Cuántos años tienes? would be the proper way to write your starting question. Although that may be nitpicking, in your question you succeed in asking how many of a certain body part the person has.

That said, the next thing you have to figure out whether you are asking a group from Spain or Latin America. If from Spain, is it a group that you would use formal or informal with.

Either way, if you go to the conjugation page you will find:

http://www.spanishdict.com/conjugate/tener

Present

yo tengo

tú tienes

él/ella/Ud. tiene

nosotros tenemos

vosotros tenéis

ellos/ellas/Uds. tienen

Simply change tienes to the conjugation that you need. You should know the pronouns and what they refer to already, so pick the conjugation that matches whichever one you want.

Now it should be obvious that it would be far simpler simply to give you the answer. But you need to learn to do this for yourself.
