different parts.
These are:

1. Topic sentence – the main idea of the

paragraph

2. Supporting details/sentences – the details
that give more information about the topic.

● There may be two or more supporting

details.

3. Closing sentence/concluding sentence – closes
the paragraph by restating the topic sentence in
a different way
