📚 Topic Summary
The setting of a story tells us where and when the story happens. Knowing the setting helps us understand why characters do certain things and how the story unfolds. By asking 'where' questions, like 'Where does the story take place?' or 'Where are the characters?', we can identify the setting. Understanding the setting makes the story more interesting and helps us imagine the events more clearly.
