Worksheet for identifying first, second, and third person point of view in sentences.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’re looking for clues like “I”, “you”, “he”, “she”, “they”, etc., to figure out if the sentence is written in 1st person (the narrator is part of the story), 2nd person (talking directly to you, the reader), or 3rd person (narrator is outside the story).

1. We went to a nearby farm to pick apples.
Clue: “We” → This includes the narrator and others → 1st person

2. Milo picked apples with his friends Jack and Nala.
Clue: “Milo”, “his” → The narrator is talking about someone else → 3rd person

3. I filled a huge basket with apples.
Clue: “I” → The narrator is speaking about themselves → 1st person

4. You can use a ladder to pick the highest apples.
Clue: “You” → Talking directly to the reader → 2nd person

5. They were exhausted after a long afternoon at the farm.
Clue: “They” → Referring to other people, not the narrator → 3rd person

6. You should tell me the truth.
Clue: “You” and “me” → “You” = reader, “me” = narrator → So it’s 2nd person (talking to you)
→ 2nd person

7. Susan knows the way home.
Clue: “Susan” → Narrator is talking about someone else → 3rd person

8. I will go to the movies tomorrow.
Clue: “I” → Narrator is talking about themselves → 1st person

9. He saw an alligator in the swamp.
Clue: “He” → Talking about another person → 3rd person

10. She is one of my best friends.
Clue: “She” and “my” → “She” = someone else, “my” = narrator’s possession → So narrator is involved → 1st person
