Flashback - Juxtapose elements separated by time and space.
Usually, a flashback involves interrupting the main narrative in order to relate an incident or series of events that happened earlier in the hero's life. For example, in Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon (first published in 1940) the hero, Rubashov, spends hours in his prison cell thinking about his own past and reliving it, so to speak.
An example of a flashback is when a character in a story suddenly remembers a past event, and the narrative shifts to show that event unfolding. This technique is commonly used in literature and film to provide important context or insight into a character's motivations or backstory.
Technically a flash-back is a device. It is when the author stops writing about what is going on in the story and "jumps back" to write about what happened in the past.
During a flashback, you do not use past tense or describe anything as if it already happened - a flashback is done as though it is happening now.
And it should not be used! Effective writers show their information to the readers without using contrived devices like flashbacks or prologues. You will see flashbacks used in movies and television because there is no good way to show what's going on in the character's thoughts - in your writing, you can show the information by having the character tell someone else about it, or by remembering how they felt during the time. Flashbacks take the reader out of the story and toss them into another time - thus, a good writer doesn't use them.
Well you could just be writing a normal scene and then suddenly go "it made me rememebr of when..." ect. ect and then put and explain what they remembered.
You could just be writing then start a new paragraph with an interjection in quotes that happened. You could also make it in quotes to make it more distinguished.
A plot that ends with the beginning. To Kill a Mockingbird has a flashback plot, because it ends with Jem breaking his arm, and the story begins with Jem breaking his arm.
The Outsiders also has a flashback plot, because it ends with them writing the beginning of the story.
Start your story -- see the link if you don't know how! Then just start the flashback off -- you might want to alert the readers that it's a flashback by saying something like "Earlier," "Three weeks ago," or "Over the past few years."
HOWEVER --- you try to avoid flashbacks because they're not very effective and they tend to be confusing to the reader.
Is when the character or object look back at a past event in their life or an important event.
