This resource explains the fundamental differences between a sentence and a paragraph. A sentence expresses a complete thought, while a paragraph combines multiple sentences to convey a single main idea. For example, while "Alex is a good student" is a sentence, a paragraph about Alex provides more detail and context, showcasing his preparedness and classroom behavior. Additionally, this guide outlines the structure of a paragraph, which includes a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence, helping learners grasp how to effectively organize their writing.
