PERSONS.
Persons, in grammar, are modifications that distinguish the speaker, the hearer, and the person or thing merely spoken of.
There are three persons; the first, the second, and the third.
The first person is that which denotes the speaker or writer; as, "I
Paul have written it."
The second person is that which denotes the hearer, or the person addressed; as, "Robert, who did this?"
The third person is that which denotes the person or thing merely spoken of; as, "James loves his book."
