Third person singular – troisième personne du singulier
Let's Define It!
What's the *third person singular*?
In French, the third person singular (la troisième personne du singulier) relates to the il, elle, on form (he, she and it [or we/you/people] respectively) of a verb, representing the person or thing that is being spoken about.
N.B. Although the pronoun on takes a singular verb form in French, it often represents the plural entity (we) --> nous.
"On" also can mean "people" as in "On mange du fromage en France" People eat cheese in France.
