Parts of a Paragraph: The Topic Sentence p.45

Topic Sentence
Every good paragraph has a topic sentence.
The topic sentence is one sentence that tells the main idea
of the whole paragraph.
The topic sentence:
▪ is usually the first sentence in the paragraph
▪ should not be too specific or too general
▪ must describe the information in all the sentences
of the paragraph
If a paragraph does not have a topic sentence, the reader may be
confused because the ideas will not be organized clearly.
Make sure every paragraph has a topic sentence!

Parts of a Paragraph: The Body:

Supporting Sentences p.37 (v1.53)

• Every good paragraph must have sentences that support the

topic sentence. These supporting sentences are called the body
of a paragraph.

• The supporting sentences:

• give more information about the topic, such as details, examples,
or reasons (support)
• must be related to the topic sentence
• should not include ideas that are unrelated or unconnected to
• the topic

• A good body can make your paragraph stronger, so make sure

EVERY sentence in your body is related to the topic sentence.
• One mistake that many writers make is writing sentences
that are not related to the topic sentence. Be sure to cut out
any unrelated or unconnected ideas.

Preview
Parts of a Paragraph: The Concluding S. p.48

In addition to a topic sentence and body, a good paragraph has

a concluding sentence. The concluding sentence:
•ends the paragraph with a final thought.
•often expresses the same idea as the topic sentence using
different words (or a summary of the information)
•can be a suggestion, opinion, or prediction
•does not give any new information about the topic
Look at the topic sentences and concluding sentences from a
few paragraphs in this unit.
