You singular

/juː/

A word used to address or refer to the person or people being spoken or written to

/juːz/

Refers to more than one person being addressed.

In English, you is used for both singular and plural forms, unlike some other languages that have distinct words for singular and plural second person (like tu and vosotros in Spanish).
The word you stays the same whether talking to one person or many people, but context usually clarifies the number.
In informal situations, English speakers often use words like you guys, yall, or you all to specifically denote the plural you'.
To differentiate in writing or formal settings, context and accompanying verbs (singular or plural in form) help clarify whether you refers to one person or more.
English does not change the form of the verb following you based on number, which can add to the confusion for learners from languages with different rules.
