Writing Coherent Paragraphs

Creating Strong, Clear Paragraphs

A paragraph is a group of sentences about one idea. Coherence means your ideas are connected and make sense together.

Elements of a Good Paragraph

  1. Topic Sentence: States the main idea.
  2. Supporting Sentences: Give details, facts, or examples.
  3. Concluding Sentence: Wraps up the idea.

Connecting Ideas

Use transition words (first, next, finally) to guide the reader.

Real-World Connection

Writing coherent paragraphs helps you create essays, reports, and even social media posts that are clear and convincing.

Examples

  • A paragraph that starts with, 'Recycling is important,' and then gives reasons and examples.

  • Using words like 'also' or 'however' to connect sentences.

In a Nutshell

Coherent paragraphs group related ideas together so your writing is easy to follow.
