    Hey there, I hope your day's been well!

    There are many differences between a narrative and a descriptive text.

    First of all, a descriptive text, is a text that will tell you more about a certain subject (basically describing it to you). The goal of this type if text is to reveal a particular person, place or thing.

    Next, I would like to tell you what a narrative text is. A narrative text (which I mostly get assigned to do in class) is basically a story. When writing a text like this, you should be stating a series of events in the order they have occurred. (A text like this will most likely be written in chronological order).

    **There would be a fictional (or not) character that would be the main personage, then a problem happens, and the character has to solve it.


    Finally, here are some examples:

    NARRATIVE

    • A girl finds a mysterious key.
    • A dragon breaks his wing and can't fly.
    • And more... With these types of texts, you can get creative.

    DESCRIPTIVE

    • An informational text about Rosa Parks.
    • An informational text about endangered species.

    Hi!

    A narrative text is, most of the time, a fictive story where you will find charachters. Novels are narrative texts.

    A descriptive text is a text in wich you find descriptive information about a subject. For example, an article that describes dolphins would be a descriptive text.

    If you have another question, don't hesitate to ask. We'll be happy to help! :D
