Kinds of paragraph
A paragraph is a group of sentences that are all related and deal with a single subject. This subject is
stated in a topic sentence. A paragraph has a beginning that introduces the reader to the issue at
hand, a middle represents the idea about explanations and supporting detail. There are four
significant kinds of paragraphs.
Unfocused paragraph
Incoherent paragraph
Poorly development paragraph
Special purpose paragraph
Unfocused paragraph:
In an unfocused paragraph in which the writer is confused about the topic. There ideas are
uncler.one way to keep a paragraph focused as you write and help readers recognize that focus is to
state your topic and your main idea or perspective in a single topic sentence. When you revise, you
can often easily improve an unfocused paragraph by adding a topic sentence and placing it in an
effective position in a paragraph.
Incoherent paragraph:
In the paragraph it is difficult to understand because it is not holding together. The definition of
incoherent is something written or spoken that is not sticking together, is rambling or is not
expressed orderly.
Poorly developed paragraph:
Poorly developed paragraphs will leave your readers confused, wanting more information and lacking
for something else to read. Avoid making vague or abstract statements without adequate supporting
details. A well-developed paragraph provides enough details and illustrations to enable the reader to
understand and accept the paragraph’s central point. After focusing your paragraphs and making
sure they are coherent.
Development means that the idea is discussed in enough depth and supported by enough illustration
or evidence that is clear and convincing to the reader.it also means that the idea and the information
are presented logically, from specific to general to specific, from least to most important or
chronological.
Here are some ways to develop a paragraph:

support your conclusions.
Add quotations:
Use statements you have gathered from the field, electronic, or library research as way of supporting
your conclusions or as ways of making your discussion more and memorable.
Special purpose paragraph:
There are several types of paragraphs, each with a purpose. A writer comes to rely upon some
paragraph styles more than others, you have to balance your paragraph and for balancing to focus
on some points.
these points are as follows:
Details
Comparison
Reasons
Dialogue
Details:
Detail paragraphs give background information or provide depth to improve reader’s understanding.
Comparisons:
The comparison shows similarities between persons, places, things, ideas or situations. Your topic
sentence should identify both items to be compared or compared or contrasted and tell the reader
precisely what you want to say about your points.
Reasons:
A reason or rhetorical paragraph argues a theory or opinion, giving a list of reasons why author’s
opinion is correct.
Dialogue:
Within conversations, the words of individual characters stand as paragraph.it is increasingly
common to include “on line” dialogue, while previously, it was considered proper to start a new
paragraph when a character spoke.
