Example of Enumeratio

Instead of saying, "I will go to town now," one may use enumeratio to expand the sentence and break it down into detail:

"I am going down to the station to catch the train to town where I shall go to the bank, visit the hairdresser, buy some flowers, then catch the train back so I can be here for five o'clock, just before Richard and Jane come."
