The first, second and third person
NARRATOR
There are three different ways to tell a story. When the story is told from my point of view using ‘I’, we call it the first person.
One day, I saw two very messy monsters. “Tidy up!” I asked them.
When the writer talks directly to the reader or the person listening to the story, it is called the second person.
When you see a monster, and they are making a mess, there is only one thing you should to do. Tell them to tidy up straight away!
I guess that’ll have to do…
The third person is when the writer is describing something that is happening to someone else, using they, she, or he.
He is going to try to make things messy again. He’s sneakily creeping up on them. He’s regretting his decision.
