Grammar
I have a question about this english word.
Hi. I'm a 16 brazilian guy. I learned english with games.
Whatever, sometimes I see some dialougue like this one:
"Hey, YOU, Hoxton, come here!" - Payday 2 ... You= One person
"YOU need to capture the flag, guys!" (I forgot the game name) ... You = My team
My question is why the plural and singular of 'you' is the same?
Why not:
Singular: You
Plural: Yous
That's all! Thanks!

That's just the way it is. In most varieties of English 'you' can be used in addressing one person or more than one.
