Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
identify whether each sentence is written in the 1st person or 3rd person point of view by paying attention to the pronouns used.

🔍 Understanding Point of View:
-
1st Person: Uses pronouns like *I, me, my, we, us, our*. The narrator is a character in the story.
-
3rd Person: Uses pronouns like *he, she, it, they, him, her, them, their*. The narrator is outside the story and describes characters.
