Step-by-step solution for: Pronouns and Point of View worksheet
Let's solve this "Pronouns and Point of View" worksheet step by step. The goal is to:
1. Identify the point of view (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person) of each sentence.
2. List all pronouns used in the sentence.
We are given a key:
- 1st Person: I, me, we
- 2nd Person: you, your, yours
- 3rd Person: he, she, it, they, or a name
---
Sentence: *I always look forward to my summer vacation at the beach. I like to collect seashells and swim in the ocean.*
- Point of View: First person
- Pronouns: I, I
✔ Reason: "I" appears twice — clearly first-person narration.
---
Sentence: *In just a few simple steps you can make a big change in your life!*
- Point of View: Second person

---
Sentence: *We love walking the dogs in the woods. We all think it is so much fun.*
- Point of View: First person
- Pronouns: we, we, we, it
⚠️ Note: "it" is a pronoun referring to "walking the dogs" — but it’s not a personal pronoun like I/me/we. However, since the question asks for all pronouns, we include it. But let’s check the definition:
> Pronouns = words that take the place of nouns. "It" is a pronoun.
So yes, include it.
✔ Final answer:
- Point of View: First person
- Pronouns: we, we, we, it
---
Sentence: *To make a great Chile, you must season it early and often.*

✔ Reason: Talking about "she" — third person.

- Point of View: Third person
- Pronouns: they, her
✔ Reason: "They" and "her" refer to people not the narrator or reader — third person.
---
Sentence: *If it was up to me, I would choose the white car.*

✔ Reason: "Me" and "I" — both first person.
