Answer to people were standing on the river: tall one is the father of the short one but the short one is not the son of the tall one who is the short one? when can we say (you is)?answer both. you : )

It seems as if the short one is probably the grandson of the tall one because a grandfather can most likely still be considered a father (hence the name—grandfather).  However, like the riddle mentions, the short one won’t be considered the son, per se. 

As for when the phrase “you is” would ever be correct, the answer is never.  In order for there not to be a subject-verb agreement error, the pronoun “you” always needs a plural verb (such as “are”).  And because “is” is a singular verb, to say “you is” is a subject-verb agreement error.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
