complicated vocabulary.

academic writing:
Narrative, Persuasive,
Expository, and Descriptive.
Can someone give me the
main verb of each type of
academic writing?

Carl: Narrate for narrative, Sir.


Mheleen: Persuade for persuasive, Sir.
Caleb: The main verb for expository is
expose.
You are all correct! Lida: The last type is descriptive and the

attended a Harvard University but left to begin Microsoft in 1979 with partner Paul
