Explanation
A plot is the main story of a book, movie, or play. It tells what happens, in what order, and how events are connected. The plot usually includes a beginning, where the story starts, a middle, where problems happen, and an ending, where those problems are solved or finished. People often talk about the plot to explain whether a story is interesting, exciting, or confusing. Without a plot, a story would feel unclear or incomplete. As a verb, it means to secretly plan something, usually something bad or dishonest. For example, a character in a story might plot against someone else. So, plot can describe both the events of a story and the act of carefully planning secret actions.
