A paragraph is a group of sentences that talk about one main idea. It starts with a topic sentence that tells what the paragraph is about. Then, you add details and examples to support that idea. For example, if you write a paragraph about dogs, you might say, 'Dogs are great pets.' Then, you could add sentences about how they are friendly and love to play. This helps the reader understand your main idea better!
