Informal you.

Informal you.

In the last sentence, starting with 'Barbara...', the hint was to use the 'informal you', so I put 'vous', and it was marked as wrong, that I should have put 'tu'.

Is there something I don't understand concerning the issue of formality?

Thanks, Andreas.

Andreas, 

you have simply confused the forms - vous is formal singular, or plural. Tu is informal singular.

If you haven’t previously, have a read of this excellent article by Cécile on the subject of tutoyer or vouvoyer:
