Third person is when you tell a story in which you aren’t really involved. “As the motorcade made its way down the street, Lee Harvey Oswald looked out the window and saw the assassins on the grassy knoll”. The reason you know that it’s third person is that only Lee Harvey Oswald knew what he was seeing, and you’re not claiming to be him.

Third person omniscient occurs when you jump around, knowing things that no one observer could possibly know. “While Lee Harvey Oswald was scratching his nose, Joe, a surgeon at Parkland Hospital, was taking a cigarette break.”

There are three ‘POVs’ that can be used: Omniscient = all-knowing character outside of the story itself, First-person = observations of a character who narrates the story, and Third-person-limited = outside narration focusing on one character’s point of view.

There you have it.

first person is using “I, we, me”
