Descriptive Essay. Only 3rd person and present tense. Think like a news reporter – describing something in great detail. It is not in 1st person (I, me, my, we, our) and it is not in 2nd person (YOU).

Some things to look for and to make sure that you have in your essay:

.Title?

.MLA correct?

.Introduction/grabber sentence?

.Thesis sentence

.Body 1, 2, 3 with transitional sentences in between sentences?

.Evidence to support thesis?

.Conclusion – restate the intro?

.Consistent tense? Point of view? WAS THIS IN PRESENT TENSE and 3rd person (he, she, it, they, them, their, one, someone, or one, or you can use someones name)
