Narrative Tenses
I can use
the past simple,
past continuous,
and past perfect
to tell a story that 
happened in the past.


We use these to make sure we don't bore someone to death when describing a story & to make the sequence of events clear :)

  • Example - boring.
Last night, I walked home. I saw a car running very fast towards a red light. I looked at the driver. I saw him talking on the phone.
He didn't stop at the traffic light, and another car crashed into him.
The police arrived. The police asked what happened.
I told them that the driver didn't see the light bc he was on his phone.
  • Example - clear and rich!
