Talk:you understood

Italicized:

• 1869, George Payn Quackenbos, An English Grammar, page 98:

  The subject of a verb in the imperative mood is generally understood. Thou or you understood is the subject in each of the examples just given:—Do not thou or you talk, &c.

• 1889, Practical English Grammar and Correspondence: For Use in Business Colleges, Normal and High Schools and Advanced Classes in Public Schools, page 4:

  Bring me flowers. This is a sentence; imperative, simple (why?). Thou or you understood is the subject; bring is the predicate verb (why?). The predicate verb is modified by flowers, a direct objective, and by me, an indirect objective element.
