The easiest way to tell the difference between first person and second person is by looking at the pronouns used. First person uses "I," "me," "we," and "us," while second person uses "you" and "your."
Here's a breakdown:
First Person:
- The narrator is a character within the story.
- The story is told from the narrator's perspective.
- Example: "I walked down the street, feeling the warm sun on my face."
Second Person:
- The narrator directly addresses the reader.
- The reader becomes the protagonist of the story.
- Example: "You wake up in a strange room, unsure of how you got there."
Remember, these are the most common ways to identify each point of view. There can be exceptions, but these guidelines will generally help you distinguish between first and second person.
