Complete your blog with pictures and video!
Explanation text is a type of text that explains how and why something happens, usually in nature or society. It uses simple present tense and linking words like because, so, and then. The structure includes a general statement, a sequence of explanations, and sometimes a closing. Explanation texts are factual and often use technical terms. For example, a text about rain explains how water evaporates, forms clouds, and falls as rain when the clouds are full.
