Expository Essays

There are four different types of essays (expository, persuasive, descriptive, and narrative), and you will be responsible for learning each of them throughout your academic career. Hello, and welcome to this Mometrix lesson on expository passages! An expository passage is used to teach and explain information in an objective way. To do this, authors usually write in a third-person point of view, avoiding pronouns such as I or you. You can use expository passages to inform, compare and contrast, or show the cause and effect of information. It usually follows a chronological structure to help readers follow along with the ideas presented. It also reaches the points of the information quickly and as clearly as possible.
