Hi, I'm stuck on changing "You" language into "I" language on these statements:
"You need to get more sleep."
"You watch too much TV."
Can't you substitute "I" for "You?"
"Because I care about you, I would be less concerned about your health, if you got more sleep."

That should suggest something for the second statement.
To change "You" language into "I" language on the statements "You need to get more sleep" and "You watch too much TV," you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject: The subject in both sentences is "You."
2. Replace the subject with "I": Change "You" to "I" to reframe the sentences.
The revised statements would be:
"I need to get more sleep."
"I watch too much TV."
It's important to note that changing "You" language into "I" language can make the statements sound more personal and take ownership of the action or behavior being discussed.
