The number of sentences in one paragraph can vary depending on the purpose, style, and context of the writing. However, here are some general guidelines:
Typical Number of Sentences in a Paragraph
- Standard paragraphs: Usually contain 3 to 8 sentences.
- Academic writing: Often has paragraphs with 5 to 7 sentences , providing enough detail and explanation.
- Creative writing: Paragraph length can be more flexible, sometimes just one sentence for emphasis or longer for description.

Key Points to Remember
- A paragraph should focus on a single main idea.
