How to Know When to Use Different Points of Views in Writing

By: maclover


 
When writing many people tend to switch to different point of views without even realizing it. This article will explain to you when to use each point of view and make you a better writer.

Instructions


Step
1

First-Person Singular (I, me, my, myself) emphasizes on you, the writer. First-Person Plural (we, us, our, ourselves) emphasizes on you as well but with a group of people.

 

Step
2

Second Person (you, your, yourself) emphasizes the reader and is suitable for letters, directions, and business writing.

 

Step
3

Third Person Singular (he, she, him, her, his, hers, himself, herself). Third Person Plural (they, them, their, themselves). Third Person point of view places the emphasis on the subject and works best for academic writing.

 

Step
4

Once you decide what perspective your writing situation calls for, do not shift the point of view. Unless instructed otherwise, students should avoid the second person point of view in academic writing.
