Bon! That's it for now. Let me know any questions you have but no more reviews until you meet something new! Bonne chance! (good luck)
Don't let the "terminology" frighten you. they are merely "labels." When talking about verbs, most teachers and/or textbooks talk about first, second, third person(s.)
first person = the one MOST important to you! = je (singular) and nous (plural)
second person = the one you talk TO. tu (familiar singular) and vous (familiar plural as well as formal singular and plural)
third person = the one you talk ABOUT. il, elle, on (singular) and ils, elles (plural)
