Explanation
Fiction is a type of story that is made up and not true. It includes novels, short stories, and plays. Authors create characters, events, and places from imagination. For example, “The story of a talking cat who goes on adventures” is fiction because the events and characters are imaginary. Some fictions are based on real life but with imaginary parts. Fiction helps people enjoy reading, think creatively, and understand emotions. It can teach lessons or entertain. Fiction is different from non-fiction, which tells true facts or events.
