When using a persons name, someone may be speaking in the third person or the second person, and only rarely in the first person.
The third person is the one spoken about. Examples of a person's name used in the third person:
- John has a new bicycle.
- I'm reading about Anne Frank.
- Today is Uncle Nino's birthday.
The second person is the one spoken to. A person's name used when speaking to that person is called a noun of direct address. Examples of a person's name used in the second person:
- John, clean your room.
- That looks nice, Betsy.
- How old are you, Uncle Nino?
The first person is the one speaking. The person speaking rarely uses their own name. The person speaking will use the the pronouns I, me, we, or us. An example of the one speaking using their own name in the first person:
- Hi, it's me, Betsy.
