Which pronouns and verbs refer to the person or persons speaking?

The correct answer refers to pronouns and verbs that indicate the speaker or speakers in a sentence. First-person pronouns include "I," "me," "we," and "us," which directly relate to the person or persons who are conveying the message. This perspective allows the speaker to express thoughts, feelings, and actions from their own viewpoint. Additionally, the corresponding verbs used with first-person pronouns are also inflected to reflect this perspective, further establishing the speaker's role in the sentence.

In contrast, the other perspectives—second person and third person—focus on different subjects. Second-person pronouns like "you" address the listener directly, while third-person pronouns such as "he," "she," "they," and "it" refer to others who are not involved in the speaking process. The term "objective case" refers to a grammatical case for pronouns that function as objects in a sentence; this doesn't specifically indicate the speaker's perspective, but rather their role as objects.
