Hey everyone! Very Happy

How are you all!!? :wink:

I have just read a book in class and now we have to do a book review on it. We have to make a speech on the book. I am going pretty well ... until I came to the question: Is your book writen in 1st person or 3rd person? I always get those two mixed up! Shocked Shocked Shocked
Is 1st person saying something like : I went to the shops
and is 3rd person you would write: Georgia went to the shops

Is that right?? Laughing Please help it's due on Monday!! Shocked
Thanks a whole lot everyone!! Exclamation
Danielle. Very Happy Byebye

Yes, that's correct. It doesn't have to be you telling the story for it to be first person, though. That "I" could be George who is explaining he went to the store.

Cheeki--The first person is I. The third person is he, she, it, they. You is the second person.
