Key Concepts

Paragraph Structure

Paragraph structure refers to the organization of a paragraph where the topic sentence is followed by supporting sentences that elaborate on the main idea. Effective paragraph structure helps maintain clarity and coherence, ensuring that each sentence contributes to a unified message.

Coherence and Transition

Coherence is the logical connection and flow between sentences within a paragraph, while transition involves the use of linking words or phrases to smoothly guide the reader from one idea to the next. Establishing clear transitions and maintaining coherence are essential when integrating new sentences to clarify or introduce a topic.
