1st, 2nd 3rd person

I'd say the first person (singular) is when you speak in your own name, for yourself. The first person (plural) is when you speak for a group of persons (at least two) that includes you.

The second person is the way you address the person(s) you are talking to.

The third person is when you speak about someone else or about other persons.

 

There/here answer the question 'Where?'. Here is usually nearby, at hand, there is out of reach.

Their is possessive of they. Likewise: I => my; you => your; &c.

P.S. Grammar, not grammer.

what is third person

\

I'm no teacher, but... This is my explination of 1st person, 2nd person and 3rd person.

Example of someone speaking in 1st person:

"I went to the store and I bought a soda."

Anything with the word "I" in it is basically first person. This is a very popular usage in books....

Example of 2nd person:

"Mark is going to school to learn math."

Second person has no indication towards yourself, just to other people.

Another example:

"They walk to the bookstore. Mark smiles at John and John grins back."

Now, for 3rd person...

Thrid person is rarely ever used in formal writing and from what I've seen, it is used mostly in giving commands -  "You will do your chores" - etc. .
Thrid person is when you indicate what someone else is doing/has done/will do, without mentioning their name, and without mentioning "I" (or yourself.)
Example:

"You go to the store. You buy a snack. Then, you go home. You had a fun day. Now it's time for you to go to bed."

OR

"You will do your homework or you will have a zero for a class grade."



Hope this help.
