What is grammatical person?

Grammatical person refers to the relationship between a speaker or writer and the person or thing being talked about, as reflected in the form of pronouns and verb conjugations. There are three main persons in grammar:

1. First Person: The speaker or writer is referring to themselves.

* Singular: I, me, my, mine

* Plural: We, us, our, ours

2. Second Person: The speaker or writer is referring to the person being addressed.

* Singular: You, your, yours

* Plural: You, your, yours

3. Third Person: The speaker or writer is referring to someone or something else.

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

* Plural: They, them, their, theirs

Here are some examples:

* First Person: "I went to the store."

* Second Person: "You should try this cake."

* Third Person: "He is a good friend."

Note:

* In some languages, there may be additional distinctions within the persons (e.g., formal vs. informal second person).

* The concept of grammatical person is important for understanding how pronouns and verbs work in a language.
