Incorrect shift: "I went to the store, and she thought it was closed."

Explanation: The shift is incorrect because it starts in first person point of view (I) and then switches to third person point of view (she) without any indication of who "she" is.

Corrected sentence: "I went to the store and thought it was closed, but my friend realized it was still open." (maintains first person point of view)
