Can you use I in a persuasive essay?

Answer 1

You can use I in a persuasive essay, however, it's usually strongly frowned upon. The reason you don't want to use I in a persuasive essay is because it implies that the information you are giving is your opinion, rather than fact.

Answer 2

You can because it's not first or second person. It is in third person, but make sure you use it in the right way.

There is describing a place or location (ex. Let's go over there, to that shop).

They're is the compound work for they are (ex. They're being very rude).

Their is having ownership (ex. That is their computer).
