How you (natives) know if “you” is singular or plural when several persons are near?

Question:

Answers:
"You is only ever singular" - that's not true at all. "You" is both the second person singular and second person plural pronoun. How do you know which is which? Well, body language (i.e. pointing to a specific person or making a gesture to include everyone). Context (the person has been talking to one specific person). Other than that, the only way to know for sure is to ask.
