BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Some stories or paragraphs do not have endings. Do we need to know how to give the endings? Of course! How do we give the ending of the story?

The sentences in the paragraph give clues that help you make correct ending. Each sentence in the paragraph is called an event. The events will help you give the possible ending of the story.

How do we make an ending to a story?

Let's answer the examples below:

Multiple Select

1. Mary did not bring her umbrella. Heavy rain poured after a few minutes and she was about to go home from the grocery.

• She might catch a cold.

• She would be happy.

Multiple Select

2. It was Saturday, a Market Day schedule of the Sampaloc residents. Rafael used his bike to go to the market across the street. He did not look to his right and left. He failed to see a car coming.

• Rafael was able to cross the street safely.

• Rafael was bumped by the car.

REMEMBER:

Some stories do not have endings. A paragraph has events. These events help the readers in giving the ending of a story. The readers give what will happen next.
