Word order In one exercise there is a sentence ¿Vds. no _______________ (tomar) café con leche? ¿Vds. no toman café con leche? I can't understand why Vds. is in the beginning of the sentence. Shouldn't it be like ¿No toman Vds. café con leche?

Hello, Both are actually correct. In Spanish, word order for the personal pronoun is more flexible than in English. You can put "ustedes" before or after the verb. In some dialects, it definitely is more common to put the pronoun after the verb in questions, (¿Toman ustedes café?), but putting the pronoun before the verb is perfectly fine (¿Ustedes toman café?). I hope this helps, let me know if you still have any questions!

Можно хоть в конце поставить, просто в отличие от других местоимений уважительная форма не упускается. Форма Vds. или Vd. должна присутствовать, а уж куда ее впихнуть особой разницы нет, но чаще всего употребляют, особенно в вопросах, обратным порядком.
