"you" is the only second person plural pronoun we use in English.

(They go - singular:

I - first

you (or thou) - second

he, she and it - third

plural:

we - first

you - second

they - third.)

In Modern English we do not distinguish between singular and plural in the second person, except in certain archaic formulas, prayers, and deliberately old-fashioned affectations.

There is no formal difference. The second person plural form is used generally for both numbers, because the singular form of the second person is you similar to ( thou, thy, thee) but extinct in Modern English.

The first person is the person or people speaking.

  • The first person pronouns are: singular I, me; plural we, us.

The second person is the person or people spoken to.

  • The second person pronoun is: singular or plural, you(subjective and objective).

The third person is the person or people, thing or things spoken about.

  • The third person pronouns are: singular he, him, she, her, it; plural they, them.

Examples:

I made you some lunch.

We saw them at the mall.

You helped me a lot.

They bought it in Miami.
