They don’t have word count guidelines to know how long their essay should be to grade high. Or, they struggle with the word limit within a paper and wonder if they can go under the suggested length.
The essay length varies, depending on many factors: subject, purpose, and academic level. Essays are usually shorter than dissertations or research papers. The thesis is the longest one.
lol. This answer doesn’t say anything just like the article. How many sentences does a paragraph need? 1 to 1000 — take your choice. Basically, as many or as few as you want. This whole article can be summed up as “however many you want.”
How do you write a half sentence in every paragraph?
This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s hilarious that people are getting worked up about how many sentences should be in a paragraph. In the scheme of things, this doesn’t even rate a blip on the radar. Write ans many sentences as you want as long as you can justify why you wrote that many to your professor.
I was always taught that there should be five sentences in the paragraph. I understand that there can be more or less, but if you’re shooting for a good paragraph and you’re worried about the number of sentences, five is a good number to shoot for. That gives you the opportunity to do an introduction sentence, three sentences that explain your point, and then a concluding sentence. If you have all of these in a paragraph, it should be a good quality paragraph.
Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean that it’s a stupid question. English isn’t my native language so I wasn’t sure if there was a rule about paragraphs. I thought maybe that a paragraph needed a minimum of three sentences so I decided to look it up on the Internet. There are legitimate reasons why somebody like me would want to know the answer to this question.
There are no strict rules about how many words or lines your paragraphs should be, and there’s no need to lock your doors if you occasionally write long or short ones.
May I Know how many sentens in Paragraph ?? like it type ?Thanks
This is the stupidest question I have ever come across. Of course there is no answer. How many sentences in a paragraph will depend on each paragraph that’s written. Even somebody in kindergarten would understand that. Why would anybody even ask a question like this?
you guys are lucky mine was 12 sentences per paragraph.
Those who are so concerned about getting an exact answer for this question fail to realize what you just said. The reason that there isn’t an exact answer is because the language is so fluid and flexible. It’s what makes English such a fun language. If everything was limited to set rules that couldn’t be broken or played with, English would be such a boring language. Be happy that there isn’t an exact answer for how many sentences are there in a paragraph because if there was an exact answer, English would be a lot more boring overall.
How many paragraphs would 40 sentences be?
I think it’s really interesting the flexibility the English language allows for how many sentences are in a paragraph. The fact that there aren’t any set rules and it depends so much on the context of what’s being written makes the English language fluid and alive. Thin how boring English would be if every paragraph had to be the same length with the same number of sentences? Embrace the flexibility which allows you to be creative when writing in English.
I always taught that there are 10 sentences in one paragraph
Do people really worry about things like this? This seems so trivial. I mean, I never think about the number of sentences I have in each paragraph when I’m writing. I just write in whatever happens to work is what appears in each paragraph. Do people really take the time to think about how many sentences they have in every paragraph that they write?
How many sentences does a paragraph need? At least one.
These our general rules. Don’t focus on them as much his writing well. That’s really what it all comes down to. If you take the time to write well, it’s not going to matter how many sentences are in each paragraph. If you don’t write well, the number of sentences that you have in each paragraph may be an issue along with a lot of other things. Just write the best that you can and you should be okay.
