Question

Which is a possible sentence from a how-to essay written in second-person point of view?

a. I patted the turkey dry and set it in the roasting pan.


b. You should tie the wings back so they do not burn in the oven.


c. She bastes the turkey once every two hours.


d. I chose to stuff the turkey, which means the cook time will be longer.

Answer 1

B) "You should tie the wings back so they do not burn in the oven."

Using I makes a sentence 1st person person perspective and using she makes it third person.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

The second-person point of view belongs to the person (or people) being addressed. This is the “you” perspective (refers to the speaker's audience). It uses the pronouns “you,” “your,” and “yours.” We use these three pronouns when addressing one, or more than one, person.

It is different from the first person, which uses pronouns including I and me, and different from the third person, which uses pronouns such as he and she.
