What is a first person and a third-person limited and a third person omniscient?

In: English Language, Literary Terms [Edit categories]

Answer:

The first person is when the narrator is the one telling the story. Tell tale signs of first person are the use of I, me, and myself. Third person limited is when the narrator is none of the characters and instead tells the reader the story through the eyes of many of the characters, however the information from this narrator is limited, hence the name. Third person omniscient on the other hand is "all knowing"
