Singular pronouns, (I, you, he, and she) describe only one person, while plural subject pronouns, (we and they,) describe groups of people. In spanish, there are also ways of addressing 'you' and groups of people ('you all') in formal ways, using 'usted' for formal 'you,' and 'ustedes' for formal 'you all.'
