WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR QUESTIONS, IT IS TIME TO WRITE YOUR FRIEND'S INFORMATION.

A paragraph is a group of sentences that focuses on one main idea.

It is a way of organizing information and presenting it in a clear and organized manner. Paragraphs can be found in many places, such as books, websites, letters, and more.

There are different parts to a paragraph, just like there are different parts to a hamburger or a sandwich.

• The first part of a paragraph is the topic sentence, which tells the reader what the paragraph is about.
• The other sentences in the paragraph provide details and examples to support the main idea.
• The last part of the paragraph is the concluding sentences or conclusion.
