    Modern English uses the same forms - you - for singular and plural; Latin has separate forms.s has the same forms for singular and plural.s has no nominative since it is only used to refer back to the subject of the verb (see below).ego, t, ns, vs are used in the nominative only for emphasis, e.g.

    ego labr, t ldis I am working, you are playing.ns festnmus, vs lent ambultis We are hurrying, you are going slowly.

    Personal pronouns can he used reflexively, i.e. referring back to the subject of the verb, e.g.ego m lav I wash myself je me lavet t lavs you wash yourself tu te lavesille s lavat he washes himself il se lavens ns lavmus we wash ourselves nous nous lavonsvs vs lavtis you wash yourselves vous vous lavezill s lavant they wash themselves ils se lavent

    Note that although Latin says m lav (I wash myself), in English we can say simply I wash. So also Scintilla sparat (Scintilla prepares herself), but we usually say prepares, gets ready. And pater s vertit (father turns him-self), where we usually say turns.In Latin such transitive verbs (i.e. verbs requiring an object) usually have the reflexive pronoun as the object whereEnglish can use the verb intransitively (i.e. without any object).
