"Thou", "thee", and Archaic Grammar

"Thou", "thee", "thine" and "thy" are pronouns that have

dropped out of the main dialects of Modern English.
During the period of Early Modern English (1470-1700), they
formed the Second Person Singular of the language, and
were standardized by the time of the King James Bible as
shown below.

[1]: "Mine" and "thine" were used before "h" and

vowels, much as "an" was.
[2]: "You" had replaced "ye" for most plural uses by
1600.

irregular verbs:
