Hola todos,
Is there any grammatical difference between the sentances:
"Usted tiene un carro" or "Tiene usted un carro"
Or any other sentances that switch around the verb and personal pronoun, like:
"Ustedes pueden cocinar" or "Pueden ustedes cocinar"
Thanks for any help.
A question about where to put personal pronouns

As far as I know, there's no grammatical difference. I tend to hear the version that puts the verb first primarily in questions (as in English--do you have a car), but I've also heard that word order used for straightforward statements in Spanish.

I fully agree with nohablo,
I would use the "Pueden ustedes cocinar" as a question only
"Ustedes pueden cocinar" as a statement... although you can also use this as a question.
Kind regards,
Mauricio.
