HELP please, is this written in 2nd person?

It has been so long since I learned this that I seem to have become very foggy on the topic!

Is this 2nd person, or would "you" have to be used?:

Go to the store and buy some pencils.

"Imperative sentences

Wash the car.
Clean up your room.
Martin, report to the counselor.
Please donate to the community charity fund.

We say that sentences must have a subject and a verb. Note that some of the above sentences do not seem to have a subject. The subject is implied, and the implied subject is you. You wash the car. You clean up your room. You is a second person pronoun. It isn't possible to make a command statement in first person or third person."

So, from that I got the impression that it is 2nd person. Good luck.

That is an imperative with an implied "you" as the subject, so this sentence is written in second person.
