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.

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.
