Like sentences, paragraphs connect backwards most securely by referencing either the beginning or the end of their predecessor.

In a sentence, save the best for last; in most paragraphs (other than opening ones and closing ones), put first things first.
#sentencestructure #ProfessionalWriting #ScientificWriting
No matter what you are writing, most of your energy, at any given moment, is devoted to the construction of a single sentence.
#thinkingaboutwriting #professionalwriting #readerexpectationapproach
A sentence presents a single thought; a paragraph presents and develops a single (perhaps multi-part) thought.

A one-sentence paragraph is fine if it states both the issue and the point of the paragraph and requires no discussion.
#paragraphstructure #professionalwriting #learnenglish
In a paragraph, the issue introduces the discussion; the point is the product or the cause of the discussion.

For 1st and last paragraphs, you can reserve your point for the end because you know most of your readers will still be with you.

For all closing paragraphs, readers expect the point to be announced at the end.

Stating the issue at the beginning of a sophisticated paragraph can take one, two, or even three sentences. Four won't work.

In a paragraph, you never are sure the issue statement has finished until you know you are now launched into the discussion.

Readers appreciate a writer making a paragraph's point explicitly, in a single sentence, and located near the beginning or end.

"Topic sentence"? A paragraph's first sentence cannot always inform readers what to expect from the paragraph as a whole.

The last sentence of a paragraph can on occasion be used effectively to say something witty, ironic, or even contradictory.

Each sentence in a paragraph will be understood not by itself, but only in the context made for it by the sentence before it.
#readerexpectationapproach #paragraphstructure #scientificwriting #legalwriting #professionalwriting
For readers, a paragraph is not experienced as a series of separate sentences. Each sentence must flow into the next.
#readerexpectationapproach #paragraphstructure #scientificwriting #legalwriting #professionalwriting
Paragraphs have significant beginnings, middles, and ends, but no single, set structure that must be constantly reproduced.

The 5-sentence paragraph taught in school — topic sentence, body, conclusion — rarely exists in professional prose. Forget it.

Whenever an "and" connects two main clauses, it fails to tell a reader how to connect those clauses. Best avoid this structure.
#readerexpectationapproach #betterwriting #professionalwriting #legalwriting #scientificwriting #mainclause
The information in a mere phrase is considered by readers to be less important than the information in a dependent clause.
#readerexpectationapproach #betterwriting #professionalwriting #legalwriting #scientificwriting
The information in a dependent clause is considered by the readers to be less important than the information in the main clause.
#readerexpectationapproach #legalwriting #professionalwriting #scientificwriting
Readers think a main clause — a clause that can stand by itself in a sentence — will contain the writer's main thought.

A 130-word sentence can ring clear as a bell; and a 13-word sentence can be hopelessly opaque. The numbers don't matter.

The number of words in a sentence, taken by itself, is no indication of the sentence's quality.
