Use of article

Use the article with Sr./señor, Sra./señora, Srta./señorita when you are talking about someone rather than to them:

Mr Smith is not at home El Sr. Smith no está en casa

Mr and Mrs Crespo are on holiday Los Sres. (de) Crespo están de vacaciones

Have you seen Miss Barrios this morning? ¿Ha visto a la Srta. Barrios esta mañana?

The abbreviated form is more common than the full form in writing.

Good morning, Mrs Ramírez Buenos días, Sra. Ramírez

Mr López, there's a telephone call for you Sr. López, le llaman por teléfono

Write the full forms señor, señora and señorita with a small "s", even when using them as titles:

Mr Smith is not at home El señor Smith no está en casa

He was talking with Mrs Williams Estaba hablando con la señora (de) Williams

Addressing correspondence

Use Sr. Don/Sra. Doña (Sr. D./Sra. Dña.) rather than Sr./Sra. when giving both forename and surname. Don't use the article:

Mr Bernardo García Sr. Don or Sr. D. Bernardo García

Mrs Teresa Álvarez Serrano Sra. Doña or Sra. Dña. Teresa Álvarez Serrano
