Part 1: Identify if the following statements are in the first person or the third person.



#### Guidelines for Identification:
- First Person: The speaker is referring to themselves using pronouns like "I," "me," "my," etc.
- Third Person: The speaker is referring to someone else using pronouns like "he," "she," "they," etc., or by name.

#### Statements Analysis:

1. Camila wanted to go to a beach. She took her hat and sunglasses and left.

- Answer: Third person

2. Milo's parents knew he wanted a dog. So, they got a little pug and hid it in his room.
- This statement uses "Milo's parents," "he," "they," and "his." All of these are third-person references.
- Answer: Third person

3. My landlord wants to add another floor to the building. So, we are moving to my aunt's place.
- This statement uses "my" (indicating possession), "we" (a first-person plural pronoun), and "my aunt's" (indicating possession). It includes first-person elements.
- Answer: First person

4. My sister and I left for the mall in the afternoon.
- This statement uses "my sister" (indicating possession) and "I" (a first-person pronoun).
- Answer: First person
