PALABRAS IMPORTANTES EN ESPAÑOL:
Using usted/ustedes 
We use pronouns tú (you singular informal) and vosotros (you plural informal) in general/relaxed conversation. If you need to add formallity to your conversation with someone in a more formal setting or with elderly people, you can use the formal pronouns usted (you singular formal) and ustedes (you plural formal), together with their conjugation in the 3rd person singular and plural of the verb:

Eh chico, ¿te has caído? ¿Estás bien? (informal)
Hey boy, did you fall over? Are you OK? 
Señora, ¿se ha caído? ¿Está usted bien? (formal)
Madam, did you fall over? Are you OK?
Vosotros necesitáis firmar aquí, ¿de acuerdo? (informal)
You need to sign here, OK? 
Ustedes necesitan firmar aquí, ¿de acuerdo? (formal)
You need to sign here, OK?

USAR EL CONDICIONAL PARA SER FORMAL:
Using the conditional tense
Another way of adding politeness is to use the conditional tense:

¿Puede darme mi chaqueta, por favor?
Can you give me my jacket, please?
Podrías darme mi chaqueta, por favor?
Could you give me my jacket, please?
Podría darme mi chaqueta, por favor?
Could you give me my jacket, please?
Bear in mind that it would not be appropriate to use this structure with the conditional in a friendly conversation with someone you know well, instead it would seem odd. This structure is used in very formal situations and/or with people you do not know.

Holidays and celebrations can vary wildly from culture to culture. Even within a country or culture, people may have unique traditions for a given holiday. Talking about this can be a great way to learn about someone’s background.
