When you speak with someone with вы do you use singular verbs and adjectives still? What about short form adjectives? I always mix this up. Thanks

We use plural.

"вы" is plural, so all verbs and adjectives are.

Would you say "Вы такие хорошие специалисты" to a single person? :-)

Ooops... it seems I've forgot about full-form adjectives :-)

Verbs are plural, adjectives are singular, short form adjectives plural:
Вы ходили в театр вчера?
Спасибо, Вы так добры.
Вы такая красивая!

Great, thanks

I'm afraid the long form adjectives will use singular as well:

"Спасибо, Вы так добры" = "Спасибо, Вы такой добрый"

Read my comment. Did I say it was not so?
