Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out the point of view.
Point of view means who is telling the story or speaking in the sentence:
-
1st person = uses “I”, “me”, “my”, “we”, “us”, “our” → the speaker is talking about themselves.
-
2nd person = uses “you”, “your” → the speaker is talking directly to someone else.
-
3rd person = talks about other people or things using names or “he”, “she”, “it”, “they” → not the speaker or listener.
Now let’s solve each:
1.
“My back is stiff.”
→ Uses “My” → that’s 1st person.
2.
“John’s little dog is cute.”
→ Talking about John (someone else) → 3rd person.
3.
“Kim and I see each other often.”
→ Includes “I” → 1st person.
4.
“You just stepped outside your door.”
→ Uses “You” and “your” → 2nd person.
5.
“There are many things I want to do.”
→ Uses “I” → 1st person.
6.
“We are madly in love.”
→ Uses “We” → 1st person.
7.
“Unfortunately, Bill didn’t win.”
→ Talking about Bill (someone else) → 3rd person.
8.
“Jake is so funny.”
→ Talking about Jake → 3rd person.
9.
“I am already hungry.”
→ Uses “I” → 1st person.
10.
“You never know what might happen.”
→ Uses “You” → 2nd person.
✔ All checked — no mistakes.
