RULE XIII.

Personal pronouns must agree with the nouns for which they stand, in

_gender_ and _number_; as, "_John_ writes, and _he_ will soon write

well."

NOTE. You, though frequently employed to represent a singular noun,

is always _plural in form_; therefore the verb connected with it

should be plural; as, "My friend, you _were_ mistaken." See pages
