You and I  


Step 1 - Overview

We use yo for I and for you (familiar). Generally we use it before the verb.

Yo estoy casado. - I am married.
estás feliz. - You are happy. (familiar)

There is not always need to say yo and before the verb, since the verb ending tells us who is performing the action.

     Yo quiero comer. - I want to eat.
         Quiero comer. - I want to eat.

     quieres salir. - You want to leave.
         Quieres salir - You want to leave.

Usually, we leave yo and out when not necessary, as:

Necesito un bol. - I need a bowl.
Necesitas un lápiz. - You need a pencil.

     Estoy feliz. - I am happy.
     Estás feliz. - You are happy. (familiar)

However, yo and may be used for emphasis.

Yo quiero comer. - I want to eat.
