KINDS OF A
Paragraph
1. EXPOSITORY PARAGRAPH

something or provide instruction.
It could also involve process and move
the reader step by step through a

of the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. Now
find a location for each of the items you had
placed in the center of the room.
2. DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH
It is a paragraph that describes a
person, place, thing, animal, or an idea
to the reader.
Example:
My favourite season is the Rainy season. For me
it is the most colourful of all the seasons. One can
see a lot of greenery around. The dark clouds are a
great blessing and are eagerly awaited after the
scorching summer heat. The best part of the
season is that one gets a lot of unexpected holidays
and off from the school due to the rains. It is a
pleasure to go out in the rains and get wet in the
water.
3. NARRATIVE PARAGRAPH
A narrative paragraph tells a story.
It provides the relevant details of when
and where the event occurred as well
as who was included and what
happened.

This past weekend I had the time of my life.
First, Friday night, I had my best friend over and
we made a delicious pizza. After we ate, we had a
friendly video game competition. On Saturday,
my dad took us out on the boat. The weather
was perfect and the water was warm. It was a
great day for a swim. By the end of the day my
legs were very tired. I only hope that next
weekend can be as fun as this one.
4. PERSUASIVE PARAGRAPH
This type of paragraph tries to
persuade the reader to accept a
particular point of view.
Example:
It is suggested that teachers read to the pupils
every day. When they read with their pupils, they

and read; people in the old age have learned how
to read and discovered the pleasure of reading.
Turn off the television and read a book.
