All about Writing Paragraphs
A paragraph is a group of sentences about one main idea. A strong paragraph starts with a topic sentence that tells the reader what it is about, followed by supporting details, examples or explanations, and then a closing sentence.
Start a new paragraph whenever you move to a new idea, speaker or time. Indenting the first line or leaving a space between paragraphs helps readers see the structure of your writing.
