Definition A paragraph that is developed by definition answers the question “What is it?”Usually expository or informational, the definition may be one sentence or extended to be a paragraph, theme, or even a book.

DEVELOPMENT BY DEFINITION Words often have different meanings based on their use. Look at the following example: Death is the capital punishment for most countries around the world. The capital of Finland is Helsinki. Notice how the word capital is used differently in the two statements. Capital in the first sentence means major or principal while the second one means city or town that is the official seat of government in a country or state. This is why as a writer, you need to be highly skilled in defining for your message to be grasped by your readers clearer, easier and faster. There are two major ways by which you can define words: (1) formally and (2) informally.

Example:
