There are three person pronouns in English: first-person, second-person, and third-person.
First-person is used when an author is talking about themselves (I, me, we).
Second-person is used when an author is talking directly to the reader (you).
In the third person, there are distinct pronoun forms for male, female, and neutral gender (e.g., he, she, it).
In addition to person, pronouns also show the number of individuals involved; there are two numbers: singular and plural.

A personal pronoun indicates the viewpoint of the writing and refers to the number of individuals.
To clearly communicate in writing, the correct pronoun number and person must be used.
