Point of View Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of “clue words” — these are pronouns or possessive words that help us figure out the point of view in a sentence.

The three points of view we need to sort them into are:
- First Person (I, me, my, we, us, our, mine)
- Second Person (you, your, yours)
- Third Person (he, she, it, they, him, her, them, his, hers, theirs)

Now let’s go through each clue word one by one and decide which category it belongs to.

1. me → This is used when someone is talking about themselves as the object. Example: “She gave me a book.” That’s first person.
2. she → Talking about another female person. Not the speaker or listener. Third person.
3. he → Talking about another male person. Third person.
4. my → Possessive form of “I”. Example: “This is my bag.” First person.
5. I → The speaker referring to themselves. Definitely first person.
6. they → Referring to other people (not including the speaker or listener directly). Third person.
7. we → Includes the speaker + others. First person plural.
8. you → Talking directly to the listener. Second person.
9. him → Object form of “he”. Third person.
10. mine → Possessive form meaning “belonging to me”. First person.
11. her → Can be object (“I saw her”) or possessive adjective (“her book”). Either way, refers to someone else — third person.
12. them → Object form of “they”. Third person.

Now let’s group them:

✔ FIRST PERSON:
me, my, I, we, mine

✔ SECOND PERSON:
you

✔ THIRD PERSON:
she, he, they, him, her, them

Wait — did we miss any? Let’s check the original list again:

Original clue words:
me, she, he, my, I, they, we, you, him, mine, her, them → 12 total.

Our groups:
First: me, my, I, we, mine → 5
Second: you → 1
Third: she, he, they, him, her, them → 6
Total = 5 + 1 + 6 = 12 ✔️

All accounted for!

Final Answer:
FIRST PERSON: me, my, I, we, mine
SECOND PERSON: you
THIRD PERSON: she, he, they, him, her, them
