Paragraphs A paragraph is a group of sentences on one point or topic.
Each paragraph should make one point that is fully developed to help the reader understand your written work. Start a new paragraph to show a change of topic.
Show your reader that you are beginning a new paragraph by either indenting (leaving a space) or skipping a line.
Indenting:
End of paragraph one. Start of paragraph two.
Skipping a line:
End of paragraph one. Start of paragraph two.
Read the following description.
My granny’s house is situated on a quiet, residential road. Her house is on the corner, nestled behind a large ash tree. The front garden is full of shrubs and flowers growing neatly in a row. The last time I visited, my granny was making an apple pie. She always uses fresh apples that she picks from her garden.
The writer moves from describing the grandmother’s home to talking about her apple pie. When the writer starts a new point they should begin a new paragraph.
