How do you write in third person limited?

Answer 1

To rephrase a statement with a first person point of view to a statement with a third person point of view, you must change your first-person pronouns (I, we) into third-person pronouns (The name of the peron doing the action).

Here is an example:

First person: "I must go now," I said.

Third-person: "I must go now," Heather said.

As you can see, you may, or may not, have to change the first-person pronouns in the dialog.

Answer 2

When writing in the third person limited, you describe the person, what the person does, and perhaps what the person knows.

She saw Bill pull up in his red convertible. He tooted. He said, "Do you want to go for a ride?"

She said, "Yes." It had been a long time since she had gone for a ride.

(All you can do is describe her and the people she is with. You can describe what she is wearing, etc.)

You have no idea what John is thinking or what he will say when she returns from her ride with Bill. You do not know what Cindy thinks about Sue getting in the car with her boyfriend. That will come out in later dialogue.

Answer 3

When writing in third person limited, the narrative is focused on the thoughts and feelings of a single character. Use pronouns like "he," "she," or the character's name, and describe events through their perspective, without revealing the thoughts of other characters. This allows for a deeper exploration of the chosen character's emotions and experiences while maintaining a degree of distance from the other characters in the story.
