There are various types of genres in writing. In your own words, describe the genre "narrative writing"?

Narrative writing is a work that tells a story, usually in chronological order. Whether fiction or nonfiction, the events in a narrative work are presented in a story-like form that builds to a scene of climactic action. Such examples of narrative writing include stories, plays, poems, fables, myths, and biographies.

In what ways is it appropriate to use "there", "their", and "they're" in a sentence?

"There" can be used as an adjective, noun, or adverb. It also has abstract function for figurative places. A few examples are: The book is right over there. There are two people in people in the room right now. "Their" is a possessive pronoun in which is replaces the noun in a sentence. Instead of saying, "That's the Parker family's new dog," you can say "That's their new dog." A few other examples are: You should stay out of their business. You should stop by their house. "They're" is a contraction of "they are". A few examples are: They're planning to host a birthday party. They're going on vacation in the summer.
