Answer:

Here's what a quatrain is:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quatrain is a group consisting of four lines.

A quatrain has a certain pattern for each quatrain in a poem. For example, if you are reading a sonnet (a type of poem), you will notice there are three quatrains.

  • The first quatrain is labeled abab (to describe the rhyming pattern)

  • The second one is labeled cdcd

  • And the third one is labeled efef

  • After the three quatrains, a couplet follows.

Hope this helps!!
