Grammar point: Generic tú and ellos (part 1)
This C1 grammar point introduces a vivid and very frequent way to present an experience as something that could befall anyone, not only a named individual. The core structure is: verbo en segunda persona del singular, with or without the clitic te, and normally without the pronoun tú. That second-person form does not pick out the real listener.
