    TOPIC SENTENCE AND PARAGRAPH

    The topic sentence clearly states the subject of the whole paragraph. The topic sentence is
    usually the first sentence of the paragraph because it gives an overview of the sentences to
    follow. The supporting sentences after the topic sentence help to develop the main idea. These
    sentences give specific details related to the topic sentence. A final or concluding
    sentence often restates or summarizes the main idea of the topic sentence.

    A paragraph is a group of sentences that convey an idea. Each sentence works together as
    part of a unit to create an overall thought or impression. A paragraph is the smallest unit or
    cluster of sentences in which one idea can be developed adequately. Paragraphs can stand
    alone or function as part of an essay, but each paragraph covers only one main idea.

    For example: Newspapers are becoming less and less popular in many places around the
    world. What are the reasons for this problem?
