COM 6: Topic Sentences

Topic sentences are the first sentences of each body paragraph in your writing. Topic sentences are important because they express the main idea that will be discussed in the paragraph at hand, and they may also help transition from one idea to the next. Use the printable version of this resource for help with composing topic sentences.
