It uses first-person pronouns such as _'I',_ _'me'_ and _'we'._ Along with first-person narrative, there is second person, where the writer uses second-person pronouns such as 'you'. There is also third person, where the story is told from the perspective of an outsider watching things unfold. This uses third-person pronouns such as 'he', 'she' and 'they'.

Mine/Ours (possessive, singular/plural) For example: 'That food is _mine.'_ 'That food is _ours.'_ My/Our (possessive, modifying a noun, singular/plural) For example: 'I love _my_ dog.'
