Point of View Practice

How can you know that something is written in first person point of view?

• pronouns like I, my and him are used
• the author is addressing the reader
• the narrator is not in the story
• pronouns like I, my and we are used

When the narrator uses the pronouns, "she", "he", and "them", the story is written in...

• 1st person point of view
• 3rd person point of view
• 2nd person point of view
• none of the above
