First, second and third person is about writing from different perspectives. The personal pronouns can be divided into three groups as follows:
- First person (the person speaking): I, we.
- Second person (the person spoken to): you.
- Third person (the person spoken about): he, she, it, they.
Next time you are reading a book, take note of which person it is written in. You may find the whole book is written in third person or that some chapters are in first person and so on. You could also try writing three pieces - each in a different person. This will really improve your English skills.
Do this elementary school quiz and get comfortable with 'person' and learn a few quotations too.
My dog angrily jumped into the car. It saw me hiding his favorite type of bone under my seat. His head went straight under my seat to retrieve his bone.
“No!” I said firmly. “Stay still.” The bone was supposed to be a reward for acting good at the vet. Morris never acted good at the vet. He would bite and scratch. His bark was so loud the vets would cover their ears. I usually put my head down in shame. However, we entered the vet’s office. Morris started jumping, but then stopped for some reason. The vet called Morris back and he eagerly sat on the table for his yearly check-up. Morris was very well behaved. The vet was very surprised. When we left the office, I picked up the bone from under my seat and gave it Morris. He definitely deserved it.
The Vet
Dr. Thomas groaned when he looked at the chart. The chart showed his next patient was Morris. A lump developed in his throat and his stomach began to get upset. He heard the door open and in walked Morris.
Let’s do this fast. Let’s get it over with soon, Dr. Thomas thought to himself. Dr. Thomas immediately called Morris and his owner back to the room. He quickly checked over Morris. It happened so quickly that Dr. Thomas didn’t realize how well behaved Morris was being. When the examination was over, Morris and his owner quickly left the vet’s office.
Dr. Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Morris was well behaved, he was still glad the visit was over.
