The Structure of a Paragraph A paragraph is a group of sentences that explains an idea of a topic. Each paragraph should support your thesis of the main idea. A well written paragraph should contain a well formed topic sentence, good supporting details, and show how the ideas support the topic.
Writing a Topic Sentence A topic sentence is what you will be talking about in a paragraph or essay. A topic sentence could be your thesis sentence depending on what you’re talking about. The topic sentence states the main point of the paragraph or essay. Each topic sentence should support the thesis of the whole essay. Topic sentences have mainly one point that it is trying to prove.
Using Transitions and Repetition All of the details in the paragraph must fit together as a unit. Transitions are words, phrases, or clauses that lead the reader to each idea. Transitions are like guide posts, or signals of what’s coming next. Without transitions, most films are structured much like a short story.
End Punctuation
You use end punctuation at the end of every sentence. The end of a sentence can be marked with a period, question mark, or an exclamation point. You have to use a period to mark the end of sentence that makes a statement. You use question marks when a sentence has who, what, when, where, why, or how. You use a exclamation point when a sentence expresses a feeling.
Commas
A comma is used to mark a pause in the sentence or to separate two sentences from each other. Commas make sentences easier to comprehend and easier to read. You use commas before words like and,but,for,or,so and yet.
