Narration is one of the most significant grammatical
issues in English. No students can advance in the world of English language
without knowing narration clearly. To know narration, a student has to learn
tense, sentence, case, person and number at first.
The speech of anything is called narration.
Narration is of two kinds- My Youtube video on Narration
