Aren't sure how to tell if a sentence has personification in it?

Here are some tips!​

Ask yourself this: Can the noun of the sentence actually do that?

For example, if I have the sentence:

The grass colored my feet green.

I can ask myself: Can grass actually color my feet?​

​

The answer would be, no. Grass can't actually color your feet. If you rub your feet on some freshly cut grass, your feet can turn green though!

​

Give it a try!​
