When writing a narrative story, there are numerous perspectives from which the narrator (the person telling the story) speaks. In the first-person point of view (POV) the narrator uses first-person pronouns such as "I" or "we" to describe the action taking place (i.e. "I opened the door and stepped inside"). When the first-person POV is limited, the narrator can only tell the reader what he or she "knows" or "thinks". The first-person limited narrator cannot describe what other characters are thinking (although he can say what he thinks the other characters are thinking) nor describe events he has no knowledge of.
In a first-person unlimited or omniscient POV, the narrator does know what other characters think or do, although this particular style is relatively uncommon. More often, it is the third-person POV that is typically unlimited or omniscient (third-person POV narrators use pronouns like "he" or "they" to describe the events and characters in a story).
