True , as a rule, because the topic sentence is usually placed at the beginning.
It can be at the starting of any paragraph.
The most important idea expressed in a paragraph or an essay is the theme. The theme is generally noted in the first paragraph of an essay or the first sentence of a paragraph.
The first sentence of the paragraph
A topic sentence is always the first sentence of a paragraph. This holds true for transition paragraphs as well as standard paragraphs.
It is not the most important, the last paragraph is the most important. The first paragraph is probably the second most important. The first paragraph should draw the reader in and introduce the story......if that makes sense.
the first sentence of the paragraph is called the topic sentence which should describe most of the paragraph for the reader to understand. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of a 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. The second sentence of a paragraph can sometimes be the topic sentence. Sometimes it is called a summary sentence.
Its kinda usually hte first sentence
Final.
The topic sentence introduces the main idea of a paragraph, while the thesis statement presents the main argument of an entire essay or paper. The topic sentence should relate directly to the thesis statement by providing a specific point or supporting detail that aligns with the overarching argument of the writing piece. This connection helps maintain the coherence and structure of the overall work.
The thesis statement should usually be the last sentence in your introductory paragraph and the first sentence ( but rephrased) of the concluding paragraph.
The first is the topic sentence, unless you bury the lead.
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.
A deductive paragraph is a paragraph in which the topic sentence is stated first. The first sentence of a deductive paragraph should be the topic sentence.
