Third Person
Third person is a form of pronoun or verb which reflects that you are talking
about someone or something other than yourself or your direct audience. It
distances the writer or speaker from the character it presents in a sentence.
Examples:
He is an exemplary leader.
They have a knack for producing good music.
Students and speakers of the English language are susceptible to using the
third person in the wrong way. Below are some common errors and the
appropriate usage:
Ensure you add “s” to the verb form when writing about the habit of a
singular subject.

Correct:
He becomes annoyed when told to keep quiet.
Don’t add “s” to the verb form when writing about the habit of plural
subjects.
Incorrect: They becomes sad when told to keep quiet.
Correct:
They become sad when told to keep quiet.
Third-person plural should take singular verb forms and vice versa.
Incorrect: She have a car.

She has a car.
