Elements of Paragraph

             here are many elements of a paragraph which are given below:

            Unity
             nity in a paragraph begins with the topic sentence.  very paragraph has one single  controlling idea that is
            expressed in its topic sentence which is typically the first sentence of the paragraph.   paragraph is unified
            around this main idea with the supporting sentences providing detail and discussion.
            Order

            Order refers to the way you organise your supporting sentences.  hether you choose chronological order
            order  of  importance  or  another  logical  presentation  of  details   a  solid  paragraph  always  has  a  definite
            organisation.  In  a  well-ordered  paragraph   the  reader  follows  along  easily   aided  by  the  pattern  you ve
            established. Order helps the reader grasp your meaning and avoid confusion.
            Coherence

             oherence is the  uality that makes your writing understandable. Sentences within a paragraph need to
            connect to each other and work together as a whole.
            Completeness
             ompleteness means a paragraph is well developed. If all sentences clearly and su ciently support the main
            idea  then your paragraph is complete. If there are not enough sentences or information to prove your thesis
            then the paragraph is incomplete.  sually three supporting sentences  in addition to a topic sentence and
            concluding sentence  are needed for a paragraph to be complete.
