PARAGRAPHIs defined as the part of one text, composed by different sentences with a visible principal main idea.

As the words are merged into sentences, sentences are consolidated into paragraphs.

● Paragraphs are units that communicate undivided thoughts within reasoning structure.

.Paragraph: to define the meaning of a term or to conserve a thought that will be used later.

Without these conceptual definitions, the reader would not understand the author's ideas. That is why they are essential in technical and scientific

writings.
