Third person singular
From Teflpedia
The third person singular is a numbered grammatical person consisting of singular use of the third person.
| Type | Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Generic one |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subject pronoun | he | she | it | one |
| Object pronoun | him | her | it | one |
| Dependent possessive pronoun | his | her | its | one’s |
| Independent possessive determiner | his | hers | - | - |
| Reflexive pronoun | himself | herself | itself | oneself |
In English, this is the only numbered grammatical person that is marked for sexual gender, though as an alternative singular they can be used, which is singular usage of the third person plural form.
With be, the third person takes the conjugation "is" in the present tense and "was" in the past tense. Other verbs take forms of the third person -s in the present tense, unlike other numbered grammatical persons.
