What is a "third-person narrative"?

A third-person narrative is a storytelling perspective where the narrator describes the events of the story from an outside point of view, using pronouns like "he", "she", "they", or "it". In this approach, the narrator is not a character within the story but observes and recounts the actions and experiences of the characters. This perspective can vary in its scope: it can be limited, focusing on the thoughts and feelings of one character, or omniscient, providing insight into the thoughts and feelings of all characters and offering a broader view of the narrative.

Examples
In the third-person narrative, the author tells the story from an outside perspective, using pronouns such as "he," "she," or "they" to refer to the characters.
