Have you ever tried to build something? To make what you want you often need a lot of different things. Writing is similar to building. Usually you cannot tell a whole idea with just one sentence. You need several sentences to explain a complete idea. A group of several sentences that tells about one idea is called a paragraph.
You write paragraphs in almost all of your school subjects. In this section, you will learn about paragraphs. You will learn a method, or process, to help you write paragraphs. Once you understand this process of writing, you can use it to help you write anything.
As a paragraph is made up of several sentences about one idea, it is important to decide what the main idea of a paragraph is. It is also important to remember that the first sentence of the paragraph is indented1. This signals the beginning of the paragraph.
The main idea of a paragraph is usually told in one sentence. It is called the topic sentence or the key sentence. It is often the first sentence of the paragraph. The rest2 of the sentences in the paragraph tell more about the main idea. Sentences that are not about the main idea should not be included into the paragraph.
