you, ewe, yew

You or you means, well, you--to me, the person reading this--grammatically called the "second person"--
Didn't you hear me?
Will you drive me to the store?
I'll introduce you to him.

Ewe or ewe ( rhymes with you ) means a female sheep--
The ewe has a little lamb. It's cute.
They hoped the ewe and the ram would have a lamb.

Yew or yew ( rhymes with you ) is a kind of tree--
He climbed up the yew tree in the back yard.
Let's have a picnic near the yew tree.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Did you see the ewe taking a nap under the yew tree?"
