Show transcript
The purpose of a diary entry is to recount important experiences and express feelings. A diary entry has a specific layout, it is written in the first person and it uses informal language. Simple past and progressive past tenses recount what the writer experienced and felt. Fronted adverbials of time support in sequencing events in a recount chronologically. The present tense is used towards the end of a diary entry to show how the writer is feeling now.
