What is Third Person?
Third person is a point of view used in writing and speech where the narrator or speaker refers to people or things by using pronouns like he, she, it, they , or by using names and nouns instead of "I" (first person) or "you" (second person).
Explanation:
- First person : The speaker is talking about themselves (I, me, we).
- Second person : The speaker addresses the listener directly (you).
- Third person : The speaker talks about other people or things (he, she, it, they).
Examples:
- First person: I went to the store.
- Second person: You went to the store.
- Third person: She went to the store.
Uses of Third Person:
- Common in storytelling, novels, and academic writing.
- Allows the narrator to describe events and characters objectively.
- Can be third person limited (focused on one character’s thoughts) or third person omniscient (all-knowing narrator).
