It is the most typical form of
language. The English word 'prose' is
derived from the Latin prōsa, which
literally translates as 'straight-
forward.' Also, it is the form of
written language that is not organized
according to formal patterns of verse.
It may have some sort of rhythm and
some devices of repetition and balance,
but these are not governed by regularly
sustained formal arrangement. The
significant unit is the sentence, not
the line. Hence it is represented
without line breaks in writing.
Prose tells a story, idea, or
information in sentences and
paragraphs. Its language is
similar to how we communicate
in real life.
