The first person narrated the story from what the "participants" saw and heard with their own eyes, while the third person narrated the story as an "observer", presenting the story directly to the readers through a third party other than the author and the readers.
4. ** Tense **
- A narrative is used to describe events or experiences that have happened in the past, so the simple past tense is often used. It can also be supplemented with other tenses according to the context.
