Plot structure is the sequence of events in a story. It typically follows a pattern: exposition (the beginning), rising action (where the conflict builds), climax (the turning point), falling action (the aftermath of the climax), and resolution (the ending). Understanding plot structure helps you analyze stories and even write your own!
