First person - Story told as "I."
Second person - Story told as "you."
Third Person Limited - Story told as "he," "she," or "they."
Third Person Omniscient - Same as third person limited, but the reader is all-knowing. The reader can look into more than one person's feelings and thoughts.

Types of Point of View

Objective Point of View
With the objective point of view, the writer tells what happens without stating more than can be inferred from the story's action and dialogue. The narrator never discloses anything about what the characters think or feel, remaining a detached observer.

Third Person Point of View
Here the narrator does not participate in the action of the story as one of the characters, but lets us know exactly how the characters feel. We learn about the characters through this outside voice.

First Person Point of View
In the first person point of view, the narrator does participate in the action of the story. When reading stories in the first person, we need to realize that what the narrator is recounting might not be the objective truth. We should question the trustworthiness of the accounting.

Omniscient and Limited Omniscient Points of View
A narrator who knows everything about all the characters is all knowing, or omniscient.

A narrator whose knowledge is limited to one character, either major or minor, has a limited omniscient point of view.

As you read a piece of fiction think about these things:

How does the point of view affect your responses to the characters? How is your response influenced by how much the narrator knows and how objective he or she is? First person narrators are not always trustworthy. It is up to you to determine what is the truth and what is not.

First Person is when it's from the narrator's point of view and the narrator is in the story. It should read like someone's diary might read. "I went to the store and I bought some milk. The store clerk smiled and gave me my change."

Then there's Third Person limited. This is where events are described by an outside observer, but from the perspective of only one person. "He went to the store and bought some milk. The store clear smiled when he gave John his change."

Then Third person Omniscient . Omniscient means "all- knowing." Here the narrator knows everything that's going on about everyone in the story. "The clerk noticed John come into the store. The clerk had hoped someone would by milk today. It would expire soon. John was thinking about eating his cornflakes with bananas or strawberries and hadn't noticed the date stamped on the gallon. The clerk smiled as he gave distracted John his change, knowing there was one less jug for his to discard."

I'll list and then explain.

1st Person: I walked to the door.
In this PoV, it is a telling from personal experience.

2nd Person: You open the mailbox, and it reveals a leaflet.
In this PoV, the words explain what you, the reader, are doing.

3nd Person: Jane chased Daniel. Fortune favors the brave.
In this PoV, the most common for literary pieces, something other than you or me is doing something.

Note that these PoVs are all in the singular. We, Y'all, and They apply to the respective 1st, 2nd, and 3rd also.
