Question

Can a recount have dialogue?

Community Answer

Yes, dialogue will help to add ambience to your recount and emphasise the atmosphere. Also, it will seem more realistic and entertaining to read. For example, when you are recounting a fight, it will be best to add some dialogue leading up to the fight to add some exciting for example, " Why did you do that?!" " How dare you steal my pen?!".

How do I end a recount story about a holiday?
