Re: difference between Spain and LatAm usage of "vosotros" and "plural you, i.e. you all" /ustedes

I was wondering what this sentence would be in LatAm:

Juan y tú _tenéis_______ los ojos verdes.Juan and you have green eyes.HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El PresenteWould it be: "tienen" for the plural use of "you all"
Thank you. Nicole

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate tener in the present tense in Spanish (El Presente)"

Yes, Nicole, you are right. In Latin America this would be:

Juan y tú tienen los ojos verdes. (Ustedes tienen los ojos verdes.)

I have the same question. I asked a couple of friends (one from Venezuela and one from Mexico) about it, and they both said they've never heard vosotros/vosotras used in LatAm.
