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).
