Let's solve this
"Point of View" worksheet step by step. The goal is to identify the
point of view for each set of sentences based on the
bolded words (like "I", "my", "they") and who is speaking or narrating.
---
🔹 1st Set:
>
I saw a funny worm. It wore glasses. It also read a book. I laughed loudly when I saw the worm.
-
Bolded word: "I"
- This sentence uses
"I" to describe what the speaker saw and how they reacted.
- The speaker is
not the worm, but someone observing it.
- The narrator is describing the worm and their own reaction.
- So, this is from the
Narrator’s point of view.
✔ Answer: Narrator’s point of view

🔹 2nd Set:
>
Hello! My name is Peter. I am six years old. I go to Woodland High School. I love painting and reading books.
-
Bolded words: "My", "I", "I", "I"
- These are all
first-person pronouns used by
Peter.
- The character is introducing himself directly.
- Since Peter is speaking about himself in the first person, this is clearly
from Peter’s perspective.
✔ Answer: Peter’s point of view

🔹 3rd Set:
>
Maya and Nick went to the park. The park had a lake. They saw an orange fish. It had jumped out of the water. They helped put the fish back in the water.
-
Bolded words: "They", "They"
- The pronoun
"They" refers to
both Maya and Nick.
- But the story doesn’t say “I” or use one character’s thoughts or feelings.
- Instead, it describes events objectively — like a third-person narrator.
- There’s no indication that the story is told from
only Maya’s or
only Nick’s point of view.
- The narration is
neutral and outside the characters' minds.
✔ Answer: Narrator’s point of view

✔ Final Answers:
1.
Narrator’s point of view
2.
Peter’s point of view
3.
Narrator’s point of view

📝 Explanation Summary:
-
First-person ("I", "my") → Usually the character’s point of view if they’re talking about themselves.
-
Third-person ("they", "it") with no personal thoughts/emotions → Narrator’s point of view.
- When a character introduces themselves using “I”, it's
their point of view.
- When events are described without a character's inner thoughts and using neutral language, it's usually the
narrator’s point of view.
