Ways to tell them apart:

The word you is used for addressing an individual as well as a group, so context is key.
Pay attention to the context of the conversation to determine whether you is singular or plural.
In English, both singular and plural forms of you are spelled and pronounced the same; reliance on context or additional clarifiers, like all of you for plural, is helpful.
