Explanation
A paragraph is a group of sentences that focus on a single idea. It helps organise writing and makes it easier to read. Paragraphs usually start on a new line and often have a small space at the beginning or before them. They are used in essays, letters, stories, and even emails to separate thoughts clearly. A paragraph can be short, with just a few sentences, or long, with many sentences, but its main job is to communicate one main idea clearly to the reader.
