Material Summary

Narrative Text

Many of you may already be acquainted with or have at least come across the phrase "narrative text," particularly if you have a fondness for reading fiction.

Nevertheless, let's take a fresh look at our comprehension of narrative text, shall we?

1. Characteristics of Narrative Text

Here are the characteristics of narrative text:

a. Employing Past Tenses

Narrative texts frequently utilize past tense because they generally narrate events or stories that have already transpired.

The use of past tense serves to establish a sense of time and sequence, allowing the reader to

follow the storyline and comprehend the unfolding of events. Additionally, writing in the past tense offers context and demonstrates a clear connection between actions and their outcomes, aiding the reader's immersion in the narrative and understanding of the characters' experiences.
