- Marazan 7y agoSo would saying "you is". You are an idiot. They are an idiot Thou is an idiot if you want to be 'correct'.
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoI'm talking about third-person pronoun, not second. Sentences like "They is in the office".
- Marazan 7y agoYou'd say "They are" just like you say "You are" not "You is" for second person. English isn't some precisely specified 1 look ahead formal grammar.
