t tells what the paragraph is about. The controlling idea helps audience understand what are you are saying. Topic sentences can be about almost anything, as long as they set the tone for the paragraph and relate back to the office or the main idea of the paper. So then writing a paper about college, then my topic sentence could be College is very important. And then my supporting sentences would be why College is very important.
The 3 main idea topics is:
1. To Inform
2. To Persuade
3. To Entertain

A topic sentence is the sentence that tells your readers what you are going to be writing about. The sentence you just read was the topic sentence of this answer. Following your topic sentence, you then write further sentences to prove or explain how that topic sentence works.
It depends on your subject or topic. So giving examples is very difficult. Look at your topic and decide on several key points, then, write the topic sentence around those points.
Example sentence - They were told repeatedly to stay on topic during the debate.
A topic sentence in a paragraph about pet ownership should be a lead-in to what the paragraph is about. An example of a topic sentence is, Pet ownership is a great responsibility, but the rewards are worth it.
A topic sentence is the leading sentence of a paragraph. The rest of the sentences should support the topic sentence. An example of a topic sentence on the subject of aliens might be, "There is ample proof that life beyond humanity exists in the universe."
The topic sentence, the body with supporting sentences, and the clincher sentence

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.
