Standard English has an archaic, almost obsolete second person singular: thou, with the possessive and objective forms thy and thee. Second person singular verb forms are very rare, the most common being thou art, that is you are.
Thou is regularly found in English writing before 1600, and in different forms ( thu, and du for example) it is current still in some English dialects. In Standard English we may use it for the exalted speech of prayer, and in certain old expressions.
