A pleasant day learner! Welcome back to our lesson on

recognizing the parts of a simple paragraph. You have
already learned the two parts of it – beginning and middle.

The beginning sentence is the first sentence of a

paragraph and the middle sentences follow the beginning
sentence. I hope you will be interested to learn today the
last part of a simple paragraph which is the ending
sentence.

The ending sentence restates the main idea but using

different words. It is the last sentence in a paragraph. Let’s
take this example.

In The Farm

My vacation in the farm is perfect. The whole family

stayed there for one month. We helped our father in
harvesting fruits.We also helped our mother in cooking our
food. I learned many things about cooking. I enjoyed my
vacation very much.

From what you read, the ending sentence of the paragraph
is the underlined sentence.

Ending sentence: I enjoyed my vacation very much.

Here’s another example of an ending sentence in a

paragraph.

The school ground is very much alive. There are

children everywhere. They noisily greet one another. They
are telling stories about their experiences during the
vacation. They are happy to see their friends.

Ending Sentence: They are happy to see their friends.
