I have a basic question, however, as native speakers do not agree on this everywhere, I would just like to ask grammar specialists.
So the question is simple:
John, come here!
Is John the subject in this sentence? Or is it "you"?
In my opinion, and in Spanish for that matter, the correct answer would be "you", NOT John, as the person addressed is second person, not third person.
Of course, John and "you" are the same person here....++
Thanks for taking the time to answer, and if you can add a link to some grammar explanation, I would be grateful :up:
