How many main ideas should be included in each body paragraph?

Answer 1

There are usually about 5-9 sentences in a paragraph although if you make your point in about 4 sentences, that is considered a paragraph. Usually you can't just do a two sentence paragraph. If the point you are trying to make is unfinished, it is NOT a pargraph even if it is 9 sentences long. Do you get what I am saying (don't answer to this question)?

Answer 2

Take it from an English professor: You should have one main idea per paragraph. If you have more, it becomes confusing to your reader. When you begin writing about a new idea, you should begin a new paragraph. Each body paragraph should include a topic sentence and supporting details in the form of facts, examples, and/or an incident (story/ anecdote).

Answer 3

There isn't a set amount but a lot of times teachers will ask for 4-8 sentences but a real paragraph can range anywhere from a single word to a million pages if you wanted. Hope this helps!
