Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find the pronoun in each sentence and decide if it’s written from
first person (I, we) or
third person (he, she, it, they).
---
Sentence 1:
*Sam’s sister is driving her car to her friend’s house after school.*
→ The pronoun here is
“her”.
“Her” refers to Sam’s sister — that’s someone else, not the speaker. So this is
third person.
✔ Already marked as “third person” — correct!
---
Sentence 2:
*My brother and I went to our house to make dinner for our parents.*
→ Pronouns:
“I”,
“our” (used twice).
“I” = first person. “Our” also means “belonging to us” → still first person.
So this whole sentence is from the speaker’s point of view →
first person.
---
Sentence 3:
*Paul and Martha wanted to get a dog for their little girl.*
→ Pronoun:
“their”
“Their” refers to Paul and Martha — not the speaker. So this is
third person.
---
Sentence 4:
*After the game, the players talked to their coach and asked if they could all meet at the restaurant for a team dinner.*
→ Pronouns:
“their”,
“they”
Both refer to “the players” — not the speaker. So this is
third person.
---
Sentence 5:
*Finally, Sophie remembered to bring her homework to class to show her teacher.*
→ Pronoun:
“her” (twice)
Refers to Sophie — not the speaker. So this is
third person.
---
Sentence 6:
*I think I will go on a vacation all by myself this year so I can have some time alone.*
→ Pronouns:
“I” (three times),
“myself”
All of these are about the speaker talking about themselves →
first person.
---
Now let’s write down the answers clearly:
1. third person
✔
2. first person
3. third person
4. third person
5. third person
6. first person

Final Answer:
