Trying to put writing in categories can make you crazy, but it gets you thinking about what you’re trying to do.

THE PARAGRAPH
1.
The
Definition of Paragraph
Before
understanding the definition of paragraph, we have to know the definition of
words and sentences. Word is a unit which is a constituent at the phrase level
and above. It will represent an idea that composed of one or more letters.
However, it is not enough to express thoughts. When the writers want to
communicate their ideas, they will use sentences. A sentence is a group of
words that express a complete thought. A complete sentence usually has subject
and a main verb to state a complete thought.
Letters
can be combined into words, and then the words can be combined into sentences.
From the sentences can be combined into paragraph, and finally the paragraph
can be combined into an essay. In this chapter, we will focus on the paragraph
writing. The relationship of the writing
terms letter, word, sentence, paragraph, and essay.
Moreover,
Zemach and Carlos said that a paragraph is a group of about 6-12 sentences
about one topic. Every sentence explains the writer’s main idea (most important
idea) about that topic[1]. The
sentences consist of a group or series of sentences closely related to one
another and to the thought expressed by the whole group or series. When, each
sentence in a paragraph must be tied to the one before and after it, it is said
to have unity. Then, if the paragraph uses some links by using special words
(transitions words), it is called by coherence.
