Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out the point of view.
We know:
- First Person uses: I, we, me → talking about yourself or your group.
- Second Person uses: you → talking directly to someone.
- Third Person uses: he, she, it, they, them → talking about other people or things.
Now let’s look at each sentence:
1. “You are a very supportive friend.”
→ The word “you” is used. That means it’s talking directly to someone.
✔ So this is
Second Person.
2. “She escaped through a narrow passage.”
→ The word “she” is used. That’s talking about someone else (not me or you).
✔ So this is
Third Person.
3. “I can tell that the bike is still in good condition.”
→ The word “I” is used. That’s the speaker talking about themselves.
✔ So this is
First Person.
4. “You are a good neighbor.”
→ Again, “you” is used — talking directly to someone.
✔ So this is
Second Person.
5. “William and John went to the function together.”
→ No “I”, no “you”. It’s talking about two other people (William and John). We could also say “they” instead of their names.
✔ So this is
Third Person.
Final Answer:
1. You - Second Person Point of View
2. She - Third Person Point of View
3. I - First Person Point of View
4. You - Second Person Point of View
5. William and John - Third Person Point of View
