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

      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).
