PROSE
A prose is a type of literature that is written in a
natural flow in complete sentences. They aren’t like Poetry
that is wrote in stanzas. A prose doesn’t have verses nor does
it need the little mind tricks of rhyming words, it is just a
simple, narrative literature.
The most common and must used example of the
prose is our day to day dialogue with others.

Common Types of Prose

events or someone’s life.

Places.
