Troisième personne

French Third Person

The third person refers to a person or group that is neither the speaker nor the person(s) addressed.

For example

Elle est généreuse. - She is generous.
  -> 'elle' is neither the speaker nor the person being addressed.

Ils ont du temps. - They have time.
  -> 'ils' is a group of people who are neither speaking nor being spoken to.

In addition to singular and plural forms, third person has subject, object, stress and possessive forms.
