Study Node - Recounting the Past:Recounting a
story, incident or event is to write or talk about something, which has happened
in the past.
It may be an event from your life (personal recount), a narrative, biography,
diary entry or another form of description.
When describing events which have already occurred in the past, it is necessary
to use past tense verbs and time expressions/words which order past events or
refer to points of time in the past.
IELTS Study Tips:
When recounting in the past whether it writing a biography or describing a
sequence of events for example, it is important to establish clearly the
relationship between different past actions.
The past perfect focuses on a specific past time first and then refers back to
an action, event or situation that occurred before that time.
