What is a paragraph?
One of the central components of an essay or a paper is the paragraph. You may think that a paragraph is ideally 5 sentences put together, or a paragraph has a topic sentence , etc. But the essential definition of a paragraph is " It is a group of sentences or a single sentence that forms a unit” (Lunsford and Connors, 1995, p.116). In this definition the term “unit” or “unity” is the most important element. It is the unity and coherence among the sentences that makes a paragraph a paragraph.
