Topic sentence : ウィキペディア英語版 | Topic sentence
In prescriptive grammar, the topic sentence is the sentence in an expository paragraph which summarizes the main idea of that paragraph.〔(Paragraphs and Paragraphing ) Purdue.edu〕〔(Writing Paragraphs )〕 It is usually the first sentence in a paragraph. Also known as a focus sentence, it encapsulates or organizes an entire paragraph. Although topic sentences may appear anywhere in a paragraph, in academic essays they often appear at the beginning. The topic sentence acts as a kind of summary, and offers the reader an insightful view of the writer’s main ideas for the following paragraph.〔(Elementary principles of composition )〕 More than just being a mere summary, however, a topic sentence often provides a claim or an insight directly or indirectly related to the thesis. It adds cohesion to a paper and helps organize ideas both within the paragraph and the whole body of work at large.〔(Paragraphs and Topic Sentences ) Indiana.edu〕〔(Lesson Plan: Writing a Good Topic Sentence )〕〔(Techniques for writing topic sentences )〕 As the topic sentence encapsulates the idea of the paragraph, serving as a sub-thesis, it remains general enough to cover the support given in the body paragraph while being more direct than the thesis of the paper.〔(Topic Sentences ) Walden.edu〕 == Forms ==
