Yes, but many teachers frown upon it--it's pretty cliche.
Well, you can, but it would be improper English. :)
you would start off with also,the title of your story,essay or whatever you are talking about and NEVER NEVER NEVER start a paragraph with the word AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To finish off any essay, just compare each point (if this is a comparison essay) or just basically make a summary. It's easiest just to highlight the most important part of each paragraph and just cram it in. A four line paragraph conclusion also looks best.
First off, when starting a paper or paragraph, you want to never start it out like this. "This paragraph is about ..................." That is just improper english. when concluding a paper or paragraph, never do this "And that is why ............................" Again, it is just not proper to do that. If youur starting a story or autobiography, you might consider having a hook sentence. That is a sentence that grabs peoples attention so they'll keep reading.
An exemplification paragraph is a paragraph in which you start off with a general topic sentence and then give examples to emphasize more about the topic.
start by stating a fact abouty poverty or putting in a good quote about poverty
sometimes it depends on what type of paper it is like your theory could be your hook sentence or your last sentence to your first paragraph.
You can use words like "Firstly", "Initially", "To begin with", or "In the first place" to start off an introduction in a paragraph. These words signal the opening of a new idea or point in your writing.
You write a conclusion by wrapping it all up. For example, "In conclusion the Wolf Spider is an interesting spider. The reason why is because it uses clever ways of catching its prey without using a web. "
Any English word may begin a sentence or a paragraph but I believe you mean a starting a paragraph on an essay. Some Ways are, firstly, secondly, thirdly, also, another reason, as well as, however, on the other hand and many more.
You would have to make it catchy You can use " in my words the story was like..........." Ok
you first start off with a hypothesis and after you end up with a conclusion
