👉 A passage in text that is about a different subject from the preceding text, marked by commencing on a new line, the first line sometimes being indented.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling “paragraphs,” a word you'll hear quite often. The dictionary gave us a good start, didn’t it? Let’s break it down nice and slow. Think of it like this: imagine you’re building with LEGO bricks. You wouldn't just pile them all together randomly, would you? No! You build sections , little groups that focus on one thing at a time. A paragraph is much the same for writing. It's a section of text – like a small group of ideas. It’s about a different subject than what came before. Just like you wouldn’t talk about building a castle and then immediately start talking about baking a cake! They are separate thoughts, clearly shown. The dictionary also tells us it starts on a new line – that's right! It needs its own space to breathe. And sometimes, the first line gets a little indent, like pulling it slightly back from the edge of the page - that’s a visual cue to show it’s a brand new section. So, in short: A paragraph is a chunk of writing about one main idea, starting on its own line and often with an indent. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how paragraphs help us organize our thoughts and make our writing clearer? Don’t be shy – let's discuss!
