<p>You (singular pronoun) are.</p>

<p>We (plural pronoun) are.</p>

<p>Is the verb “are” used for both singular and plural pronouns? I thought “are” is a plural verb…</p>

“You are pilots.”
I don’t see how this makes sense… They are using a plural verb for a singular noun… Then a plural object. So if the object is plural, the verb can also be plural? I thought that was only for the subject of the sentence.</p>

<p>You is a versatile pronoun. It can be either singular or plural. </p>

<p>Wow, I seriously never knew that. I always thought you referred to only one person.</p>

<p>Thanks for clearing it up Q!</p>

4

<p>are as verb: the plural form of the present tense (indicative mood) of the verb `be’ and the singular form used with you.</p>

<p>You never said “you” when speaking to more than one person?</p>

5

<p>It can’t be “you is pilots” can it?</p>

6

<p>I thought when i said “you guys”, I was just speaking ungrammatically. I don’t really use grammar rules as strictly as writing when when I speak. But now I understand though, thanks.</p>

7

<p>“You guys” is not grammatically correct. Example of plural you: “You are all invited.”</p>

<p>You can be singular or plural and are is used for both.</p>
