What is the “They Say” into which Baum is entering? What is the “I Say”?

We write and speak in three different 'persons' . . .

Let's say I'm telling you something about Sam.

I'm the first person. You're the second person. Sam is the third person.

First Person: I, we, us

Second Person: You, you-all

Third Person: He, she, it, they, them

So there are three different ways to write or tell the same story.

Most stories that you read are written either in the First person or the Third person.

<u>"First-person narrative" is a story being told by the person it's about</u>.
"I'm Al. I got up in the morning. Then I got dressed, I went to the store, and bought milk."

"Third-person narrative is a story being told about somebody.
"Sam got up in the morning. Then he got dressed, he went to the store, and he got milk."

I saved "Second-person narrative" for last, because it's not used very often
and so it sounds weird. But there ARE whole books written in Second-person:
"Your name is Johhny Schlaffgut. You went to bed early last night because
yesterday was a tough day at the office and you were tired. But this morning
you felt OK. You woke up, you got dressed, and you went to the store for milk."

So my teacher want us to write a story and have grammar in it too but I’m not much of a writer and not sure how to write it out.

Answer:

1. Loose vs. lose

This one drives a lot of people crazy, including me.

In fact, it’s so prevalent among bloggers that I once feared I was missing something, and somehow “loose” was a proper substitute for “lose” in some other English-speaking countries. Here’s a hint: it’s not.

If your pants are too loose, you might lose your pants.

2. Me, myself, and I

One of the most common causes of grammatical pain is the choice between “me” and “I.”

Too often people use “I” when they should use “me.” Since “I” sounds stilted and proper, it must be right, right? Nope.

The easy way to get this one right is to simply remove the other person from the sentence and then do what sounds correct.

You would never say “Give I a call,” so you also wouldn’t say “Give Chris and I a call.” Don’t be afraid of me.

And whatever you do, don’t punt and say “myself” because you’re not sure whether “me” or “I” is the correct choice. “Myself” is only proper in two contexts, both of which are demonstrated below.

Many consider Chris a punk, but I myself tolerate him. Which brings me to ask myself, why?
