Summary/Abstract: Grammatical person is the most clearly expressed by the personal forms of the verb or verb forms of identity in conjunction with personal pronouns. In this paper, we will point out the means of expressing grammatical persons in the Slavic languages expressing the present, past and future tenses, as well as the imperative mood and the conditional sentences in the system, and the personal pronouns in the system of nouns. The forms of personal pronouns can very often be found in the nominative case, ie. in the function of the formal subject which is inextricably linked to the grammatical verb forms, and it is this relationship of subject-predicate structure is based on a functional-semantic field of personality. In Slavic languages the grammatical expression of person, despite the similarities that are implied in the related languages, reveals a few differences, which is the subject of the paper.
