You re my rock meaning

This article is about the pronoun. You” and “Your” are not to be confused with U, Ewe, Yew, or Ure. In Modern English, you you re my rock meaning the second-person pronoun.

The development is shown in the following table. Early Modern English distinguished between the plural ye and the singular thou. Yourself had developed by the early 14th century, with the plural yourselves attested from 1520. Although there is some dialectal retention of the original plural ye and the original singular thou, most English-speaking groups have lost the original forms. Because of the loss of the original singular-plural distinction, many English dialects belonging to this group have innovated new plural forms of the second person pronoun. For groups consisting of only women, forms like “you girls” or “you gals” might appear instead, though “you guys” is sometimes used for a group of only women as well.

You prototypically refers to the addressee along with zero or more other persons, excluding the speaker. You is used to refer to an indeterminate person, as a more common alternative to the very formal indefinite pronoun one. Though this may be semantically third person, for agreement purposes, you is always second person. Example: “One should drink water frequently” or “You should drink water frequently”. You always triggers plural verb agreement, even when it is semantically singular. You can appear as a subject, object, determiner or predicative complement. Predicative complement: The only person there was you.
