i have to right out the word ustedes is that correct
To play it safe, write it out. I was taught to abbreviate it, and am not sure about the capitalization.
Thank you for working on this as I slept! Note I get up early now, Sam, to catch you before you go to school!
Statement word order = subject + verb = tú piensas
Question word order = verb + subject = ¿piensas tú...?
As for the abbreviation for usted/ustedes, it has a very interesting story. In the olden days (don Quijote, for example) it was "vuestra merced" = your mercy/grace. Of course that was too cumbersome to write so it was originally shortened to vd/Vd but that could have an unpleasant connotation, so it has modernized to ud/Ud. So, should you ever want the abbreviation, Ud./Uds or Vd/Vds. is it!

P.S. When you write it out "usted" and "ustedes" is correct, unless it is the first word in a sentence; then it is capitalized. (Usted/Ustedes)
