Question

What characteristics identify a third-person narrator?

Answer 1

In third person limited the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character. All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and 'she'.

The third-person omniscient point of view is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Mainly using i and me in a sentence identifies that the story is in third person.

EDIT: sorry wasn't thinking straight, so third person is you or the narrator seeing/feeling/visualizing the character that is in play. just imagine as if you are stalking that person like a ghost! and you see everything they do and feel, emotionally of course. its just like watching a movie you're the third person.
