HOW TO

WRITE A
PARAGRAP
H
4 RULES
1. All the sentences need a subject.
2. Organize the sentences by topics, when you finish the topic
use a period (.) and don’t go back to the topic.
3. Every sentence has to be separated by punctuation or a
linker.
4. Use connectors at the beginning of some sentences to make
the paragraph flow better.
