definition of a 2nd person in a way I can understand it?

OpenStudy (confusionist):

I assume you mean the point of view, correct? :)

OpenStudy (confusionist):

2nd person is easily recognized by the words 'you, your, and yours'.

OpenStudy (confusionist):

Be sure to realize that quotations using those words from one character to another are not something you can use to recognize the whole tone of a story. ;)

OpenStudy (confusionist):

In fact, its usually when the narrarator is talking to the audience.

OpenStudy (confusionist):

For example, 'You walk in the park and you fall.'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks but what exactly is the definition

OpenStudy (rose21):

2nd person uses the pronouns you, your, and yours to address a reader or listener directly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You use the second-person point of view to address the reader. The second person uses the pronouns “you,” “your,” and “yours.”

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I realized I just said what rose21 explained.
