Human thinking does not follow a logical or continuous pattern. When telling something to someone else, we impose order by writing it down for clarity and to convey our idea. The arrangement of words in a sentence determines the meaning. Likewise, the sequencing of sentences in a paragraph decides its meaning. A good paragraph has a topic sentence that introduces the topic, maintains unity of thought on that single topic through coherent, mutually connected sentences that build upon one another.

1. PARAGRAPHS

2. PICK AND SPEAK

6. WHAT IS A SENTENCE?

7. After jumped the lion the lake into the girl. DOES IT MAKE SENSE?

9. THE LION JUMPED INTO THE LAKE AFTER THE GIRL.

12. The sequencing of words result in a complete change in the meaning. Likewise arrangement of sentences decides the meaning of a paragraph.

13. Read the Paragraph given below. Sylvia was my childhood friend, two years older than I, but infinetely wiser, more subtle, more daring. She would never have noticed me but we always walked together to the same public school.What a walk it was! Walking to school with Sylvia was a ritual fraught (unpleasant) with mystery and danger, the possibility of falling from ledges, of being attacked by wild dogs or seduced by witches whose backyards we stole through. I hated it when moved on to junior high and I had to walk the plain old route alone.

16. SEQUENCING OF SENTENCES THE SENTENCES IN A PARAGRAPH ARE NOT TOTALLY INDEPENDENT UNITS . THEY ARE MUTUALLY CONNECTED. EVERY SENTENCE TAKES OFF FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE.
