Ask Jerry
POV
Asked by Tim Eichenbrenner on May 13, 2020
My main character's POV is 1st person past tense. In a chapter devoted to dialogue between two other characters without the main character present, does the character with POV have to also be 1st person past tense, or can it be 3rd person past tense?
Jerry's Answer
It can be either, Tim, as long as you make it crystal clear it's a new perspective character.
