📖 1 of 2

Point of view is the perspective from which a story is told. It helps readers understand who is speaking and how they feel. For example, if a story is told from the 'first person' point of view, the character might say, 'I felt happy when I saw my friend. ' This shows us their personal feelings.

If the story is told from 'third person,' it might say, 'She felt happy when she saw her friend,' which gives us a view of how another character feels.
