Actually, a paragraph can have any number of sentences. There is no set number as most students think .

A paragraph may be one sentence or several, although most paragraphs average between 3 and 8 sentences. A paragraph consists of material related to a specific subtopic or concept within the written text. There is no standard size, just as there is no set number of words in a sentence.
Paragraphs can differ from being 3-5 sentence's, to 7-9 sentence, to even 10-12. But the most important thing is that it doesn't feel like you are forcing more words; you want it to run smoothly and end nicely. Paragraphs can be any length you want them to be but they are generally 5 to 7 sentences.
A paragraph can be as long as the writer wishes it to be. Most, however, will stay between 2-6 sentences. As long as whatever is in it correlates with everything else, there is no limit to the size of a paragraph.
It is when you can only write how ever many sentence per paragraph before you have to start a new one. Usually 7-9 sentences at the most.
As many as you want. However it is not good to make paragraphs too long. Generally one topic for one paragraph. If for example you are doing non fiction writing about a country don't write about the population and industry in one paragraph make a separate paragraph for each topic/subject. If you are doing fiction writing when you move from one scene or action to another the start a new paragraph. A paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of one or more sentences, as many sentences as are necessary, to express a distinct idea or sequence of action, or a quotation of the words of one speaker.
Supporting sentences are called "supporting" because they "support," or explain, the idea expressed in the topic sentence. Of course, paragraphs in English often have more than two supporting ideas.
A paragraph in an essay is most like a stanza in a poem. Just as a paragraph is a grouping of related sentences discussing a central idea, a stanza in a poem is a grouping of lines that often conveys a specific theme or emotion. Both paragraphs and stanzas help structure the overall piece of writing.
Most paragraphs have a topic sentence, which is either the first or the last sentence. The other sentences in the paragraph support the idea of the topic sentence.
