Answer:

Exposition: Romeo is interested in Rosaline, but Mercutio mocks Romeo because Rosaline has no interest in marriage. Romeo meets Juliet and completely forgets about Rosaline.

Rising Action: The Capulet house and Montegue house do not get along, therefore Romeo and Juliet plan to secretly marry.

Climax: Tybalt kills Mercutio, and Romeo kills Tybalt. The Prince banishes Romeo from Verona.

Falling Action: Paris is to marry Juliet, but the Capulets are unaware of Juliet's secret marriage. Juliet fakes her death with the potion the Friar gives her.
