What should the length of a paragraph be?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I think a paragraph is 4 sentences long. There is really no set number of sentences in a given paragraph. The minimum should be 3 if one wnats to incorporate a topic sentence, a body sentence and a conclusion.

Answer 3

Every writer has their own style and tactic, but generally speaking 100 sentences is a bit much for one paragraph. A typical paragraph will generally be between 5 - 12 sentences, depending on the topic.

Answer 4

That varies a lot, and there's no point in saying a paragraph is or should be x words long. In general, don't let paragraphs get longer than they need to be.

Answer 5

The usual recommended amount is five sentences. You can probably get away with three or four.

Answer 6

depending on the paragraph 3-5 or 5-7 sentences

Answer 7

About 5 sentences long, if not, more.
