Person (Grammar)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In grammar, a person is a way of referring to someone. These are accomplished by "pronouns" (words used to take the place of a noun, in order to make speech easier.)
| Pronoun | Person/plurality | Gender |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | ||
| I | First person singular (This comes from the person speaking) | - |
| We | First person plural (This comes from a person part of a group) | - |
| You | Second person singular or plural (This comes from a person talking directly to someone.) | - |
| He | Third person masculine singular / third person gender-neutral singular | masculine (only for men or boys) |
| She | Third person feminine singular | feminine (only for women or girls) |
| It | Third person neutral singular (This comes from a person talking about something that has no gender) | - |
| They | Third person plural / third person gender-neutral singular (the singular usage is commonly accepted) | - |
