Lesson #5 | First, Second, and Third Person | Williamson Education

Imagine the confusion that can arise when a speaker shifts between different perspectives without realizing they have done so. That’s what makes differentiating first, second, and third person so important for clear and effective communication.

Not using the correct grammatical “person” may cause ambiguity for readers regarding who is performing an action and who is receiving it.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of grammatical persons in this video. You'll learn the differences between first, second, and third person perspectives, and you’ll also gain an understanding of the correct usage of personal pronouns. The video explores the relationship between singular and plural forms of the grammatical persons.

By understanding how a person affects verb conjugation and sentence structure, you can ensure that your writing or speech is grammatically correct and effectively conveys your message.
