Examples of Writing in Third Person

Writing in third person is writing from the third person point of view and uses
pronouns like he, she, it, or they. It differs from the first person, which uses pronouns
such as I and me, and from the second person, which uses pronouns such as you and
yours.

Now you see examples of third person. The first person, on the other hand, might read
"I never make mistakes so I never learn." Finally, the second person would read "You
never make mistakes so you never learn." This would contrast from the third person,
which would read "He never makes so he never learns." These examples illustrate the
different ways to write and use pronouns.
