What is a topic sentence?

Is it important?

The short answer is YES! because the topic sentence will tell us what the parapraph is about, the MAIN IDEA. If we want to write a paragraph about "Our favorite food" the topic sentences must include the name of this food and some opinions about it.

What is a paragraph?

A paragraph is a group of words put together to form a group that is usually longer than a sentence. Paragraphs are often made up of several sentences. There are usually between three and eight sentences. Paragraphs can begin with an indentation (about five spaces), or by missing a line out, and then starting again. This makes it easier to see when one paragraph ends and another begins.

Structure for Paragraph Writing

Paragraph writing is all about the main idea. The main idea is essentially the topic or umbrella theme which the writer is trying to elaborate on. The aim always is to say more about the main idea.

How to do it?

• The first one or two lines are the ‘Topic Sentence’. You introduce the topic and explain why you have chosen to write about it.

• Body: The next 2-3 statements are the ‘Detail Statements’. Here you can give the reader more information about the main idea. Try to separate these into three or four details and then take one or two lines to discuss each detail.

• Conclusion: One or two lines about the main idea that brings a sense of completeness. You can always end with a personal connection like your opinion or views, feelings about the topic, etc.
