The human brain breaks down paragraphs and sentences into smaller units and organizes them in a way that makes sense in your mind. This process is known as narrative comprehension.

When we read or listen to a story, our brains use our knowledge of language, grammar, and vocabulary to decode individual words and make sense of the information being presented.

As we process a story, our brains also use our ability to make inferences and draw conclusions to fill in any gaps in the information being presented. We may use context clues and subtext to make predictions, or judgements about the motivations and actions of characters.

Overall, the process of narrative comprehension involves a complex interplay between our language skills, our prior knowledge and our ability to make inferences and connections.
