Penjelasan
Baca kembali dengan teliti ketiga contoh diatas dan perhatikan beberapa kata yang bergaris bawah. Kata-kata yang bergaris bawah tersebut adalah merupakan kata kerja bentuk ke dua atau yang kita sebut bentuk Past Tense yang digunakan untuk menulis teks Recount. Dari sini kita dapat mengambil kesimpulan, bahwa jenis teks Recount menggunakan bentuk Past Tense. Walaupun demikian bentuk kata kerja ke dua (Verb 2) tidak harus selalu digunakan untuk menulis teks Recount. Baca kembali contoh 2 diatas, beberapa kata kerja yang digunakan adalah menggunakan kata kerja pertama (Verb 1).

Untuk mempermudah pemahaman kita dalam mempelajari Generic Structurenya akan kita bahas satu per satu dari contoh-contoh teks Recount diatas.
Penjelasan Contoh 1
Orientation yang diberikan untuk contoh 1 dalam bentuk dialog adalah berawal dari kalimat “Where did you go on the weekend? I went to Tambi Tea Plantation and small village in Dieng. Did you go alone? No, I went with my aunt and uncle. What did you go there”?
Kembali kita tegaskan disini, bahwa yang dimaksud dengan Orientation adalah pengenalan atau pendahuluan cerita yang melibatkan kapan dan dimanakah kejadian atau cerita tersebut terjadi.
Events dari cerita tersebut adalah “Well, we spent two night there in a luxurious bungalo inside the plantation. Uhm… We ate “Mie Ongklok”. You know, it is a traditional food from Wonosobo. The next morning we visited the tea plantation and watched how tea leaves were processed”.
Event adalah menceritakan urutan-urutan kejadian yang dialami oleh pelaku dalam cerita (participant) secara berkesinambungan tidak terputus-putus.
Re-Orientation, karena yang dimaksud dengan Re-Orintation adalah akhir sebuah cerita atau kesimpulan sebuah cerita dari pengalaman yang dialami oleh pelaku cerita. Maka Re-Orientation dari contoh pertama adalah “Indeed, we had a lovely time there because the weather was cool and the scenery was beautiful”.
Penjelasan Contoh 2
Orientation yang diberikan untuk contoh 2 dalam bentuk dialog adalah berawal dari kalimat “What is the news, Dad? Still about the earthquake? Yeah. Still about the rescue of Melanie. Who is she, Dad? Well, she is a girl hmmm… about your age”.

Event adalah menceritakan urutan-urutan kejadian yang dialami oleh pelaku dalam cerita (participant) secara berkesinambungan tidak terputus-putus.
Re-Orientation, karena yang dimaksud dengan Re-Orintation adalah akhir sebuah cerita atau kesimpulan sebuah cerita dari pengalaman yang dialami oleh pelaku cerita. Maka Re-Orientation dari contoh kedua adalah “Poor thing! Hope she’s still fine. Let’s keep hoping”.
Penjelasan Contoh 3
Orientation yang diberikan untuk contoh 3 dalam bentuk dialog adalah berawal dari kalimat “I think my first memories began when I started school at about five years old. I lived in a suburb of Sydney. I had a happy childhood. I remember playing in a big garden”.
