Answer 2

The pronoun 'you' is the second person pronoun which takes the place of the noun for the person spoken to.

The verb 'are' is the second person singular and plural and first and third person plural present of the verb 'to be'. The verb 'are' is often used as a helping (auxiliary) verb.

Literally, 'you are' means the person you are speaking to is or is doing whatever follows the verb. Examples:

You are my friend.

You are helping me a lot.
