                 Paragraph
                 A group of sentences forms a paragraph. A paragraph works around a common idea. If you want to write for another
                 idea, create a new paragraph. For example, if you're writing about colleges, the first paragraph may contain sentences
                 referring to names, locations, and other details about different colleges in a particular city. In the next paragraph, you
                 can describe what you like about a particular college.

                 Construction of a Paragraph
                 A paragraph is composed of three parts:

                 •  Topic sentence: The paragraph’s first phrase, which establishes the primary concept
                 •  Development and assistance: Sentences that expand on the fundamental topic
                 •  Conclusion: The paragraph's final sentence
                 To help you write a simple paragraph, here are a few tips:
                 •  Select a primary point for the paragraph.

                 •  Make a topic sentence.
                 •  Explain the central idea
                 •  Give examples
                 •  Describe the examples

                 •  Finish the paragraph.
