The point of view in a story is who is telling the story, or whose thoughts and feelings are shown. Sometimes, the narrator’s point of view is different from a character’s.
When you read, ask yourself who is telling the story.
Is it a character in the story? Stories told by a character in the story are told in first person.
Is it a narrator that is not part of the story? Stories told by someone who is not a character in the story are told in third person.
