Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide if it’s written in first person or third person.

What does that mean?

- First person: The speaker is talking about themselves. You’ll see words like “I”, “me”, “my”, “we”, “us”, “our”.
- Third person: The speaker is talking about someone else — not themselves. You’ll see names, or pronouns like “he”, “she”, “they”, “it”, or just describing actions without using “I” or “we”.

Now let’s look at each sentence:

1. *That man reading the book looks as empty as a vacuum.*
→ Talking about “that man” — not the speaker. → Third person

2. *I have applied for a job and will get it.*
→ Starts with “I” — the speaker is talking about themselves. → First person

3. *I try to have preferred a serious one.*
→ Again, starts with “I”. → First person

4. *Jeta likes to play computer games.*
→ Talking about “Jeta” — someone else. → Third person

5. *They were late, so they missed the final act.*
→ Uses “they” — not the speaker. → Third person

6. *We should attend a class presentation.*
→ Uses “we” — includes the speaker. → First person

7. *One should be more careful when he puts your garbage.*
→ This is tricky! It says “one should...” and then “he puts your garbage.”
But note: “your” means the listener — not the speaker. And “one” and “he” are general terms, not referring to the speaker. So this is still third person (even though it uses “your”, the subject isn’t “I” or “we”).

8. *You would make a good counselor.*
→ Talking to “you” — not including the speaker. → Third person
*(Note: “You” is second person, but since the options are only first or third, and it’s not first, we put third.)*

9. *Which one buys this house?*
→ Asking about “which one” — not the speaker. → Third person

10. *It’s required that we must sign into the system.*
→ Uses “we” — includes the speaker. → First person

11. *Alice is going to take chemistry.*
→ Talking about “Alice” — someone else. → Third person

12. *I wanted to see him on show.*
→ Starts with “I” — speaker talking about themselves. → First person
