KEEP THIS IN MIND
Great! You are on the right track! Now I

know that you are ready to learn our new
concepts for this lesson. Read, understand,
and apply what you have learned from our
previous tasks to these new concepts that you
are about to learn. Have fun learning!
A paragraph is made up of sentences that explain or

present the details of a topic. A good paragraph has
three parts.
1. Topic Sentence
A topic sentence usually comes at the beginning of a

paragraph. It introduces an overall idea that you want to
discuss later in the paragraph. It is also called the main
idea that tells what the paragraph is all about.
2. Body or Supporting Sentence
It is a sentence that supports, explains or tell more

about the idea expressed in the topic sentence.
Paragraphs often have more than two supporting
sentences that give important details and describe topic
sentence for better understanding
3. Concluding Sentence
It is a sentence that summarizes the information which

has been presented. You can think of a concluding
sentence as a sort of topic sentence in reverse.
Grade 4 - English
EN4WC-IIg-7
Remember to observe the following tips in writing a paragraph:
 focus on one topic;

 complete the paragraph with an ending sentence, may be an
idea, a decision, or a conclusion;
 indent the first sentence of the paragraph;
 begin the first word of a sentence with a capital letter; and
 end each sentence with the correct punctuation mark.
Let’s go back to our paragraph earlier. Notice how the first

sentence of the paragraph is written with an indent. Each sentence
also starts in capital letter and ends in a punctuation mark.
Fun in School
Going to school is always fun. Everyone gets to see each
other, exchange stories and play with their friends once again. They
also meet new teachers or maybe new classmates. It’s also exciting
to learn new things and learn how to read, write, and count. Most kids
really look forward in going back to school and have fun.
Now here are the Three Parts of a Simple Paragraph

 Topic Sentence
Going to school is always fun.
 Body or Supporting Sentence

Everyone gets to see each other, exchange stories and
play with their friends once again. They also meet new
teachers or maybe new classmates. It’s also exciting
to learn new things and learn how to read, write,
and count.
 Conclusion/Concluding Sentence
Most kids really look forward in going back to school
and have fun.

SUM UP
Well done! Your teacher is proud of

the way you worked today. You’re almost at
the end of our lesson, and to highlight what
you have learned a while ago, remember this:
A paragraph is made up of sentences that explain or present

the details of a topic. A good paragraph has three parts: topic
sentence, body or supporting sentence, and concluding sentence.
A topic sentence usually comes at the beginning of a paragraph.

It introduces an overall idea that you want to discuss later in the
paragraph. Body or supporting sentence is a sentence that supports,
explains or tell more about the idea expressed in the topic sentence.
Concluding sentence is a sentence that summarizes the information
which has been presented.

classes are still postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s
why, it is important for us to stay safe at home. But there are still
