NARRATION

    Narration is an essential communication skill used in personal, social, and professional life. It involves recounting past incidents, events, and personal experiences, as well as describing current events. Through narration, we create stories, reports, news, and notes on experiments and projects. When narrating incidents and events, it's crucial to maintain a proper sequence and order. 

    Narration is important in both social and professional settings.

Presentation of Subject Matter

  • Narration is used to describe past experiences, news reports, and storytelling.
  • Narration can be done from a first-person or third-person perspective.
  • First-person narration involves the narrator being a character in the story, and we see things through their perspective.
  • Third-person narration is from an external observer's point of view and can reveal more about characters and events.
  • News reports often use past tense to narrate past events.
  • Past tense is essential for narration.
  • Past tense can be formed by adding "ed" to the main verb, e.g., "reached," "received."
  • There are irregular verbs with unique past forms, e.g., "spoke," "ate," "understood."
  • Some verbs have the same forms for present, past, and past participle, e.g., "cut," "split."
  • Past perfect tense is used to show an action that was completed before a point in the past. It is formed as "had + past participle."
  • Time expressions help arrange the sequence of actions in a narration.
  • They include phrases like "To begin with," "At first," "Then," "Later on," "After some time," "In the end," "Finally."

    The typical structure for narration involves beginning with an introduction to the incident, followed by discussing the subsequent parts of the incident one by one, and finally, concluding with the end of the story or incident. This chronological order ensures that the story, report, or incident provides clear and comprehensive information to the reader, leaving a lasting impression on their mind.
