You're checking verb forms — good. Here's what’s correct and why:
- "They think." = "Ellos piensan." (present indicative)
- "Ustedes piensan." is also correct if you mean "you (plural) think." In Latin America "ustedes" is used for both formal and informal plural. In Spain the informal plural is "vosotros pensáis."
- "Ellos piensen." is not the simple present; it's the present subjunctive ("that they think," or used after verbs/expressions that require the subjunctive).
- "Ellos pensamos" is incorrect: "pensamos" is first person plural (we). Correct for "we think" is "Nosotros pensamos."
Quick conjugation of pensar (present):
- yo pienso
- tú piensas
- él/ella/usted piensa
- nosotros/nosotras pensamos
- vosotros/vosotras pensáis
- ellos/ellas/ustedes piensan
Present subjunctive (3rd person plural): ellos piensen. Want examples of subjunctive use?
