Grammer: Person, Place, Thing.You can find the subject at the start of the sentence. The subject is usually place before the verb.
Here are some examples: (Verbs are ‘_____”)
Jenny “played” all day. The park “is” far from my house. It “lives” in cold places like the Arctic. “The rose” is…. “……” dog has …. “The green” box is between… “John” is studying….

What Is ‘Person’ in GramIn grammar, the personal pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) are grouped into one of the three categories:
- The First Person. This category is used for the point of view of the speaker or a group that includes the speaker. A basic sentence in the first person would typically start “I [did something]” or “We [did something].” (In grammar, the first-person personal pronouns are I, me, we, and us.)

- The Second Person. This category is used for those being spoken to. A basic sentence in the second person would start “You [did something].” (In grammar, the second-person pronoun is you.)

- The Third Person. This category is used for everyone else. A basic sentence in the third person would start “He [did something]”, “She [did something],” or “They [did something].” (In grammar, the third-person pronouns are he, him, she, her, it, they, and them. The third person also includes all other nouns, e.g., Fritz, Germans.)

Person is a category used to distinguish between (1) those speaking, (2) those being addressed, and (3) those who are neither speaking nor being addressed (i.e., everybody else). These three categories are called the first person, the second person, and the third person.
Choosing the right person can help portray the right image.
Choose the right person? Yup, I’m still talking about grammatical person. If you want to portray a personal touch or show responsibility for your actions, write in the first person (i.e., use “I” or “we”). For example:
- I will handle your claim within 24 hours.
If you want to portray formality or distance yourself from your actions, write in the third person (i.e., use “he,” “she,” “it,” or nouns). For example:
- Lees Ltd will handle your claim within 24 hours.
If you really wanted to distance yourself from your actions, you could also write in the passive voice.
- Your claim will be handled within 24 hours by Lees Ltd.
Key Points
- Before you learn a foreign language, familiarize yourself with the person categories. It’ll be worth it.
- I advise you to write in the first person for that personal touch.
- I advise write in the third person to avoid that personal touch, i.e., to portray more formality.
- You are advised to write in the passive voice if you really want to hide under the quilt.
