How to tell stories
The document provides guidance on how to tell stories through the use of transitional words and verb tenses. It recommends using words like "first", "then", "after", and "finally" to introduce, sequence, and conclude stories. It also suggests words like "suddenly" to indicate interruptions. For verb tenses, the document advises using the simple past tense to describe completed past events and the past continuous tense to provide background context. An example story is provided to demonstrate these storytelling techniques.
