A paragraph is 4 or more sentences, so having one or 2 doesn't make it paragraph. Short stories aren't short due to the number of sentences in a paragraphs, but to the number of pages in the story. If a student turns in a story to me that is only one or two sentences in each paragraph I hand it back telling them to write real paragraphs with a topic sentence and 3 detail sentences.

Short story paragraphs use limited sentences to create impact and make the writing more concise and focused. This style allows for quicker pacing and increased dramatic effect. By using shorter paragraphs, authors can maintain the reader's interest and keep the narrative moving forward smoothly.

How much sentences are there in a paragraph?

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.
