What does second person mean in grammar?

Answer 1

First person pronouns are used for the person who is speaking (I, we, me, us, mine, ours).

Second person pronouns are used for the person who is spoken to (you, yours).

Third person pronouns are used for the person spoken about (he, she, it, him, her, his, hers, its).

Answer 2

If we're talking indicative mood, present tense, the answer is "are". If we're talking indicative mood, past tense, the answer is "were". If we're talking imperative mood, the answer is "be". But in every case, and so perhaps this is the real answer to the question, the verb "to be", like all English verbs, takes the same form for second person plural as for second person singular.

Answer 3

The second person, personal pronoun you is both singular and plural. Example:

John, you are a good friend.

Jack and Jackie, grandma has invited you to lunch.

Answer 4

The second person, singular possessive pronoun is yours.

The second person pronouns function as both singular and plural.

The possessive pronouns take the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

Example:

Jim, the sandwich on the table is yours.(singular)

Children, the Sandwiches on the table are yours. (plural)

Note: The possessive pronoun should not be confused with the possessive adjective 'your', a word placed before a noun to show that noun belongs to someone or something.

Example: Jim, your sandwich is on the table.

Answer 5

I (1st person) am speaking to you (2nd person). We (1st person plural) are speaking to them (2nd person plural). 2nd person is the one/ones being spoken to, instead of doing the speaking.
