It replaces the “you” for everyone in English. ** Please note that there are 2 yous in French. One is for family and friends (tu) and the other is for everyone else (vous). Vous is also the plural you. How do you tell which it is? Context. *** Please note that for “they” the “elles” form is only used for a group of girls. For mixed gender or for a group of boys, use “ils”.
