8. Topic sentences and paragraphs Note
A paragraph has one main idea.
Each paragraph is separated from the rest
of the passage by means of a blank line above or below it.
A paragraph is a group of sentences on a single topic. In a paragraph you will have one main idea and explain it. Paragraphs are important because they organise information in a way that is easy for the reader to follow. Tis improves the flow of reading.

A topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph. It introduces the main idea of the paragraph. It is also known as the focus sentence because it is the main sentence which organises the whole paragraph. A topic sentence has supporting details and a closing sentence. It is useful to identify a topic sentence in a paragraph when writing summaries or taking notes. See Module 4.
