Pronouns: First-person narratives use pronouns like "I," "me," "my," and "we" (when referring to a group the narrator is a part of).
"I walked through the dark forest, my heart pounding with fear. The trees seemed to close in around me, and I could hear the eerie sounds of the night."
Second Person POV
Second person point of view uses the pronoun "you" to address the reader directly. This perspective immerses the reader into the narrative as if they are a character in the story, experiencing events firsthand.
You walk into the dimly lit room, feeling a chill run down your spine. The air is thick with anticipation as you take a deep breath, your heart pounding in your chest. You glance around, searching for a familiar face, but all you see are shadows dancing against the walls. Suddenly, a voice calls out your name, and you turn, unsure of what to expect next.
Third Person
In third-person narration, the story is told by an external narrator who is not a character in the story. They use pronouns like "he," "she," "it," or "they" to refer to the characters.

In the quiet town of Maplewood, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden hue over the quaint houses. Mrs. Johnson, sitting on her porch, sipped her tea, unaware of the storm brewing within her son, Tommy, who was hiding in his room, grappling with feelings of inadequacy. Meanwhile, across the street, Mr. Thompson was planning his retirement party, feeling a mix of excitement and nostalgia, knowing that his time at the company was coming to an end. Little did they know, a surprise awaited them all that would change their lives forever.
