Thank you so much for your respond....If I say; I narrate my child a story before I tuck her up, is this correct?

A bit unusual in structure, cathy. Try this:

I narrate a story for my child before I tuck her up.

However, 'narrate' is a higher register than is called for in your utterance. 'Tell' would be much more natural.

Thanks agian, its really helpful.....Let me introduce myself before I go any further with my question. I have learnt English by myself and I've been ******* to improve it....I write a note in English and give it to my friends to read so they can find the error. In my writing I try to use new words in order to enlarge my vacobulary but is not always easy. Last time I used the word "unpalatable" in

When Mitchel heard it, he stood in disbelief, as he found his father statement was so unpalatable.

1: I don't know what you mean by 'father statement'.

2: In that sentence, 'unpalatable' could mean almost anything (long? brief? discursive? unbelievable? false? wonderful?). The context in your sentence does not reveal your understanding of the word.

1. What I mean by "father statement"; an explanation about a certain thing which Mitchel got from his father.

2. What I mean by "Unpalatable"; the explanation was difficult for Mitchel to accept because it's unbelievable.

Is my understanding about the word 'unpalatable' acceptable?

When Mitchel heard it, he stood in disbelief, as he found his father's statement was so unpalatable.

No, 'unpalatable' doesn't mean 'unbelievable' it mean 'unpleasant'.

Thank you so much...I've learnt something from you. Gosh, I still have plenty questions..but I suppose you don't have much time
