An essay is more than one paragraph. A paragraph is just what it is four or five sentences. That doesn't make an essay.``
As many as you want. There is no law that says how many sentences make a paragraph. You should have more than one sentence in each paragraph, however. The general rule is: include enough sentences to make your point in each paragraph so that your essay is not confusing.
The topic sentence does not fit with the supporting sentences that follow it.
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.
As a proofreader would know, a paragraph is made up of, on average, three to eight sentences. For instance, when you are writing about one thing in particular and explaining what is is to readers, this could be a descriptive paragraph. For editing and presentation purposes, paragraphs need to be well set out and not too bulky. This is a paragraph with four sentences.

Every paragraph needs a topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually (but not always) the first sentence of the paragraph.The topic sentence gives the reader an idea of what the paragraph is going to be about. The supporting sentences need to be about the idea presented in the topic sentence. In a paragraph, every sentence should support the topic sentence. If a sentence does not support the main idea of the paragraph, it does not belong in that paragraph and it should be moved to a new paragraph.Here is an example of a properly written paragraph with a topic sentence and supporting details.We had a wonderful vacation! We visited my grand parents' home for the holiday. There we met all my cousins, aunts, and uncles. We ate good food and played a lot. We went shopping and sightseeing. I didn't feel like coming back!In the above paragraph, "We had a wonderful vacation!" is the topic sentence as it gives the main idea of the paragraph. All other sentences support the topic sentence.Directions: Read the following topic sentences. For each of these topic sentences, write three or four supporting sentences.1. I like to collect coins (or anything else that you like!).2. This weekend I helped my parents with chores.3. Our principal, Mr. B. told us about the upcoming school events.4. I love my new bicycle!5. After school today, we are planning to play foot ball.6. When I grow up, I want to be ______.
There are indeed three types of supporting details, namely, supporting sentences, detail sentences and concluding sentence. The supporting sentences is tied to the topic sentence; the detail sentences is related to supporting sentences, and concluding sentence re-emphasize the the topic sentence. In fact, there are four elements in a good paragraph - topic sentence, supporting sentences, detail sentences and concluding sentence. I hope that solves your problem.
