What Is Third Person? (with Examples)




The term third person refers to someone else,
i.e., not the writer or a group including the writer (I, me, we, us) or

the
writer's audience (you). Whenever you use a noun (as opposed to pronoun), it is
in the third person.





The personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we,
you, they) are grouped into one of three categories:


First person: I and we


Second person: you


Third person: He/She/It and They


Note: First person refers to the speaker himself
or a group that includes the speaker (i.e., I, me, we, and us). Second person
refers to the speaker's audience (i.e., you).


Examples of Third Person Pronouns in Different
Cases


Here are the third person pronouns in the
