Internal: A conflict inside a character, like debating with yourself. The typical angel-demon scene is an example of this. External: something outside yourself like weather to build a wooden or plastic fence.

Internal conflict is when the protagonist is conflicted about their decisions or situation.

Ex. Billy wants to go to the party to seem cool, but knows that if he does, his best friend will feel betrayed. Billy has to make the choice.

External conflict is when the protagonist's ideas, decisions etc. conflict with those of the antagonist. They are then forced together so that one of them may win and one of them may lose. Or, something is done to the protagonist that forces them to fight back.

Ex. Billy's girlfriend gets kidnapped by an evil mastermind bent on revenge, and Billy must go save her.
