Assume that you are talking with a woman whom you address with "вы".
If you want to say, "You were here", which would be correct?
Вы была здесь.
Вы были здесь.
I assume that the second one is correct, using the plural rather than the feminine form of the verb. Is that correct?
If you want to say, "You are beautiful", which would be correct?
Вы красивая.
Вы Красивые.
I assume that the first one is correct, using the feminine rather than the plural form of the adjective. Is that correct?
If I am correct in both of these cases, is there any explanation for this inconsistency? And how would you say, "You were beautiful"? With the plural verb and the feminine singular adjective?
