What is a "paragraph"?

A paragraph is a distinct section of writing that presents a specific idea or topic, typically consisting of several sentences. It begins with a topic sentence that introduces the main idea, followed by supporting sentences that provide details, explanations, or examples. A well-structured paragraph maintains a clear focus, ensuring that all sentences relate to the main idea.
