HOW TO BUILD A GOOD PARAGRAPH

Paragraph elements

1) Sentence: Word, or set of words, whose meaning is total. It is an independent element.

2) Thematic axis: The paragraph consists of a central idea, which is usually synthesized in a sentence called thematic sentence (which guides the development of the paragraph and is its axis), and secondary or support sentences (between 4 and 5), which are the arguments that explain and support the main idea.

The fair measure of a paragraph is a maximum of five or six sentences.

Paragraph = SENTENCES 

1 Topic Sentence (main)

4 – 5 Supporting Sentences

 

To write a good paragraph, you must first define a topic, or "something you plan to talk about." You must think about the topic sentence and express it taking into account that it has the necessary elements to expose a complete thought.

What is essential in the construction of a good paragraph is the brevity, clarity, precision and effectiveness with which ideas are expressed. In addition, it is recommended to change the paragraph when you complete a logical process and/or when the reader's eyestrain demands it.
