left outer join on multi tables

Hi, here are my tables

table name
{
id integer primary key
first_name text,
middle_name text,
last_name text
}

table address
{
id integer primary key
number int,
street text,
city text,
state text
}

table work
{
id integer primary key
hours text,
shift
}

table person
{
id integer primary key
namid integer references name(id),
addressid integer referenes address(id),
workid integer references work(id)
}
nameid, addressid or workid in person table may be empty.

I would like to make a view which shows all information about a person
in one row

first_name, last_name, street, city, workhours, ...

In the peron table, if the workid, addressid, or nameid is empty, just
do not display the correspodent information.

I think I need left outer join, but I do not know how to use it. Could
anyone help?

Thanks,
