What are the persons of pronoun?

The "persons" of pronouns refer to the grammatical categories that indicate who is speaking, who is being spoken to, and who is being spoken about. Here's a breakdown:

1st Person: The speaker or writer.

* Singular: I, me, my, mine

* Plural: We, us, our, ours

2nd Person: The person or people being addressed.

* Singular: You, your, yours

* Plural: You, your, yours (Note: English doesn't distinguish between singular and plural forms for "you".)

3rd Person: The person or people being spoken about.

* Singular: He, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its

* Plural: They, them, their, theirs

Examples:

* 1st person: "I went to the store."

* 2nd person: "You should try this new restaurant."

* 3rd person: "She is a talented artist."

It's important to note that the pronouns in each person category can have different forms depending on their grammatical role in a sentence (subject, object, possessive, etc.).
