PARAGRAPHSby WILMER PUERTAS

PARAGRAPHS:

A Paragraph is a group of connected sentences that is generally made up of one main idea and a group of supporting sentences. Paragraphs are the basic unit for building longer pieces of writing, e.g essays, reports, assignments etc.

Types of Paragraphs:• INTRODUCTORY• DEVELOPMENT• TRANSITION • CONCLUDING

THE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH

. The introductory paragraph does not go into detail, it just gives a general idea of the material and lets the reader know what areas it will cover.

THE DEVELOPMENT PARAGRAPH

• The development paragraph usually begins with a topic sentence. The topic sentence states what the paragraph is about.

THE TRANSITION PARAGRAPH

The transition paragraph is usually short and not all articles need transition paragraphs. They are used to emphasize change. It’s a dividing line when you need to move from one aspect of the subject to another.

THE CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH

The concluding paragraph is where you wrap it all up and reiterate the high points, but you do not want to create an abrupt stop here.

Understanding the basic types of paragraphs and working to keep our ideas and statements grouped in single paragraphs will improve our writing and make reading our material easier.
