Uso de "tu" y "sus"
¿Por qué es "Tú ayudas a tu esposa" y no "Tú ayudas a sus esposa" decir "You help your wife"? Hubiera pensado era "Tú ayudas a sus esposa". Es muy confuso. :( Gracias! -Kyle

"Tú ayudas a tu esposa"-- It is correct when you speak with 1 person (you help your wife)
"Ustedes ayudan a sus esposas" --- It is correct whe you speak with 2 o more people (you help their wives)

I am new to Spanish, but I'll take a stab at this because I'm trying to work on these too! I think it's because the possessive (your) needs to agree with the subject (you). I believe your alternative sentence would translate to "You help their wife."
Interested to hear what the right answer is!
