Do you have to use "usted"

It appears that the word tú is dropped from the phrase ¿De dónde eres? Can you also drop usted and just say ¿De dónde es?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using Soy de [city/country] to say where you are from in Spanish"

¡Hola Vernon! Yes, you can use the subject pronouns for each sentence or omit them. It is more natural to omit them unless you want to reinforce who is carrying out the action. Silvia.

El el kwiz, no indicó cuál persona, y por eso "es" o "eres" podía ser correcto.

« Contestar a “En lo que a mí respecta” seems a really awkward way to say this, certainly in English. Is there another way in Spanish? »
