Can you tell if a piece of writing is in first, second or third person?
First, Second and Third Person
Let's explore first, second, and third person in this KS2 English quiz! Who should you be when you write: I, you, he, she, we, or they? It's like picking a character for your story. Diaries and letters use first person, instructions talk directly to you in the second person, and reports use the third person. In stories, you decide – first or third person? Can you switch between them? Practise in this quiz and then try writing in all three! Reading aloud or having a friend check helps spot any mistakes. Ready to be a writing wizard?
