WELL WRITE IT AS IF YOU WERE TALKING. I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT AN APPLE. YOU CAN PRETEND AS IF YOU WERE TELLING SOMEONE A STORY OVER THE PHONE. FIRST PERSON WILL NOT CHANGE SOMETHING THAT IS PAST TENSE. I DONT THINK

Writing in first person means using I. Basically as you would speak. "I am stuck"
Past tense is things that have happened.
I was stuck but tormcb helped me.

Simple past would be: I hid the toy from my brother.
Progressive past would be: I was hiding the toy when my brother came into the room.
Past Perfect would be: I thought I had hidden the toy better than I did.
Past Perfect Progressive would be: I had been hiding the toy when my brother entered the room.
Good luck!

"I was strolling along the bank of the river when I heard somebody cry for help. I hurried along to see if there was anything I could do for them, only to find a desperate child looking for her lost cat."

its really quite simple. just use "i" and say something as though you were telling a story or something that happened, like "i took a test today"
