Paragraph Format

When you write a paragraph in English, you must use correct paragraph format. Follow this example.

                                                                                  Full Name/ Number

                                                                                  Date

                                                                                  Class

                                                          Title

     The first sentence of your paragraph must be indented five spaces. This sentence is also your topic sentence, a general statement about your paragraph Do not start each sentence on a new line. Each sentence begins where the sentence before it ended. The rest of the lines should start at the left margin. Margins on both sides of the page, left and right, should be three centimeters. Begin each sentence with a capital letter, and end each sentence with correct punctuation: a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point. Also, you should double-space your paragraph. This means writing on every other line. Center your title on the first line, add your name, write the date in the upper right-hand corner. Your last sentence should be an interesting conclusion to your paragraph.
