    It can also be "Voces falam ingles?" This is if you use the plural you.

      Would it be a correct translation if it was "Fala inglês?", without the subject pronoun?

        Yes, also correct, but the most usual is "você fala inglês?"

          Why doesn't fale work? Does it change from masculine to feminine when going from eu to voce? I thought it was eu falo and voce fale.

            Hi, for verbs only the participle has masculine/feminine the other conjugations don't have. So, in present tense it is "Ele/Ela fala"

              Fale em inglês! (Imperative). Eu falo (present)

              Why can't it be "Fala você inglés"?

                I said, "Falo," and it counted it wrong. Their system has been kinda glitchy... :\

                  "falo" = I speak
