Are there any situations where the second person singular forms of a verb are not the same as the plural ones?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The verb follows the conjugation of the subject, and in modern English, the singular second person is the same word as the plural second person (you) , but that wasn't always the case. In Old English, the second person plural was thou, and verbs conjugated differently - for example, you are (singular) and thou art (plural).

You mixed up singular and plural, thou was used for singular/informal situations and ye (you) was used for plural/formal situations
