Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out if it’s written in
first,
second, or
third person.
---
What do these mean?
-
First person: The speaker is talking about themselves. Look for words like *I, me, my, we, us, our*.
-
Second person: The speaker is talking directly to you (the reader). Look for *you, your*.
-
Third person: The speaker is talking about someone else — not “I” or “you”. Look for names like *Sheila, Max*, or pronouns like *he, she, they, it*.

Now let’s check each sentence:
1. My home has an awesome game room. I relax there every day.
→ Uses “My” and “I” → That’s
first person.
2. Sheila and her brother Max visit Grand Bahama Island every summer.
→ Talking about other people (Sheila and Max) → That’s
third person.
3. If you are on Eleuthera Island, Glass Window Bridge is an awesome attraction for you to see.
→ Uses “you” twice → Talking directly to the reader → That’s
second person.
4. Your parents know what is best for you. They have lived much longer than you have.
→ Uses “your” and “you” multiple times → Talking to the reader → That’s
second person.
5. Many Bahamians love to visit Orlando, Florida. It is a great vacation spot.
→ Talking about “Many Bahamians” and “It” → Not “I” or “you” → That’s
third person.
6. I love pizza. We have it every Friday at my house.
→ Uses “I”, “We”, “my” → Talking about self and group including self → That’s
first person.

Final Answer:
1. first
2. third
3. second
4. second
5. third
