Usually the topic sentence is the first sentence in a paragraph. The topic sentence makes a statement about some topic and the rest of the paragraph explains the topic sentence or gives examples of the topic sentence.
For example if this was the topic sentence
There are three living species of Kiwi all of which inhabit New Zealand.
Then this paragraph would probably tell us what the three species are and where they live in NZ.
At the beginning or the end.
Usually it is the first sentence.
But it can be the second sentence especially when the first sentence is a sentence that links to the previous paragraph.
Or it can be the last sentence
You should state your topic for each sentence. I like to call it a topic paragraph because you spend the first paragraph talking about your topic.
Topic sentence
The topic sentence or thesis statement gives you the main idea of the paragraph. If you are not sure what the main idea is, read the paragraph again and look at each sentence. See if that is the sentence which all the other sentences support by turning it into a question and see if the other sentences answer that question.The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of the paragraph. It makes a statement about a topic and the rest of the paragraph explains the topic sentence or gives examples of the topic sentence.
Revise the details to support the topic sentence
The topic sentence should state the main idea that will be developed. The reader should easily be able to see the main idea, simply by reading the topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph, and is the most important thought in the paragraph.
First, find out what the paragraph your boyfriend need's topic is. Then, write a good beginning sentence that supports the topic or point to be made in the first paragraph. After, fill the paragraph with more sentences that elaborate on the topic or point, these are usually supporting details. Finally, finish with a closing sentence that either ends your paragraph nicely, or makes for a good transition sentence for your next paragraph.
The topic sentence is the most important sentence - the one that tells you what the paragraph is about. Find that and you've found the topic sentence. WikiAnswers cannot do your entire assignment for you - that's cheating and it's wrong.
The topic sentence grabs a readers attention. it supports the thesis--------APEX ~veronica
A topic sentence is usually the first sentence of any paragraph, but it can be elsewhere, such as the end of a paragraph. Paul Harvey's tales deliberately place the topic sentences at the end to build suspense. For instance, he spoke about a Black woman who tried to be a CBS newscaster but was unable to contain her emotions during the broadcasts. The network tried to give her a new image and put her on a morning show since they still had a contract to honor. But they mistakenly sent her to a beautician who knew nothing about African-American hair, and tried to give her a relaxer. So she was bald for a while. The ratings improved greatly, and when the show ended, this woman went on to start and eventually produce her own talk show. After Paul Harvey's classical line, "Now for the rest of the story," he mentioned that he was discussing Oprah Winfrey. So a writer or speaker may place a paragraph's topic sentence at the end for dramatic emphasis.
