You is the same as a singular and plural pronoun. That is why it is perfect to use when giving a request or command. The subject's power of Invisibility is a very practical superpower. It allows one to give commands and urgent requests in a very short, concise manner...especially if you are in trouble and need to call for
"HELP!"
"HELP!"
A complete sentence always has a subject, but just because you can't see the subject, doesn't mean that it is not really there. The subject could be....ta daaaaa.....I N V I S I B L E!
A subject can only use the power of invisibility when it is giving commands or requests.
Example: Help me. Look Out! Stop!
If we reveal these invisible subjects , you'll be able to see who the subject of each sentence is.
You, help me. You, look out! You, stop!
The subject of each of these sentences is "you."
Example: Help me milk the cow. (you)
Tom, help me milk the cow. (you)
Whenever anyone makes a command or request, they are directing the command or request toward a second person or persons.
