Narration চর্চার উপর নির্ভর শীল। যে যত বেশি চর্চা করবে সে তত বেশি শিখতে পারবে। এছাড়া ন্যারেশনের রয়েছে নানা পদ্ধতি। অর্থ বোধক বাক্য হলেই ন্যারেশন হয়ে যাবে। অর্থাৎ Direct থেকে Indirect করতে গেলে অর্থ ঠিক থাকলে ভিন্ন ভিন্ন নিয়মে পরিবর্তন করা সম্ভব।

একটা জিনিস মনে রাখা ভালো, optative sentence এ said to এর পরে যে object থাকে সেটা উত্তর করার সময় না দেওয়াই ভালো। অনেক সময় object দিলে অর্থের বিকৃতি ঘটে ফলে বাক্য সঠিক বলে ধরা যায় না। said to না থেকে শুধু said থাকলে উত্তরে assertive sentence এ told না বসিয়ে said রাখলেও হবে। অন্য দিকে কেও প্রশ্ন করার পর উত্তর দিলে told না বসিয়ে replied বসানো উত্তম।

passage narration এ অনেক সময় ইনভার্টেড কমা দিয়ে শুরু করার পর said to এর অংশ থাকে, সে ক্ষেত্রে আগে said to এর অংশ বা ইনভার্টেট কমার বাইরের অংশ করে নিতে হবে।

Narration মূলত একধরনের Report, তাই Narration ভালো ভাবে করতে পারলে পরীক্ষায় Report পড়লে তা নিজের মত করে দ্রুত বানিয়ে লিখা সম্ভব।
