To write in the third person, you imagine yourself as a being set apart from the action.. describing whatever you see. That is one way to look at it.. for example..

*She walked slowly down the sidewalk. Her halting steps and sidelong glances betrayed her attempt at confidence. When she reached the corner, she never saw the blue van. All her fears and caution were for nothing in that split second.*

You see, you are neither the female in the narrative, nor are you the person in the van. You are simply describing the actions.
I hope that helps.

All of my favourite books were written in 1st man or woman and so i had continually been a 1st man or woman author. yet i study this high-high quality e book in third man or woman and it allowed me to get to carry close the different characters better suited and be conscious how issues were effecting them alongside with the MC. My new tale that i;m engaged on is in third man or woman, my first time writing in third and that i like it. I dont have a mission with both and plan to position in writing in both at the same time as ever its needed for a narrative. relies upon on if its called for contained in the tale i think.

3rd Person Pronoun Usage

Singular:
Subject case- he, she, it
Object case- him, her, it

Plural: they and them.

When your writing a paragraph in third person, you want to be discriptive. When I say discriptive, I mean sensory... Say you have a character walked into a room. What did the room look like? What did it smell like? What did your character do? Was the room dusty and old? Explain how dusty and old it was... Use metaphors if you insist.

If pronouns are too much for you, then use actual names. Or you can use compound sentences so that you don't end up feeling like you wrote too many he's or she's... Grammar rules.. .make sure that your singular verb matches with your singular object. .. Don't say for example "Everyone will have their fair share of the pizza"... because that's wrong... it's correct to say, "Everyone will have his or her fair share of the pizza." It sounds awkward to say this doesn't it? I would try to avoid using "their" unless you really have a plural object or you really need to use it. Watch out for subject-verb agreement. (singular subjects with singular verbs etc). Make sure you didn't write he/she/them/it where you were supposed to make it possessive his/her/their/its.

Also, this may seem tedious, but after you are done with your paragraph, run through each sentence and ask yourself "Does this make sense and is this the best way I have expressed my idea?" Don't get too hung over this tactic though. Just use it to check your pronouns.

Hmmm, don't mention about he or she just write in general like saying the names or using the word 'they'
e.g. its politic should be improve or shaped in order to be better. or in china, people will leave some food on their plates to show politeness unlike other country that people should have everything on their plates to show politeness.

Use he, she, it.............. they & them. This is not a first person account.

If you are stuck (and you are), write your story from your point of view. When finished, change the words & references as if it were narrated by your best friend.

I hope this helps your writers block.

He, She, It, They, Them, Those, According to.

DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING:

I, We, Us, Me, My, Myself, etc.

If you have to refer to yourself, put your name in place of I. Write out your paper in your persepective of the encounter, and then delete all of the words that refer to yourself.

Hope that helps!

Good luck on your assignment!!
