The purpose of a topic sentence in a paragraph is to express the central idea of the paragraph. It serves as a guide for the reader, providing a clear and concise statement about what the paragraph will be discussing. To identify the topic sentence in a paragraph, you should look for a sentence that introduces the main idea or focus of the paragraph. This sentence often comes at the beginning of the paragraph and helps the reader understand what to expect from the rest of the paragraph. Note that topic sentences are not intended to provide evidence or describe specific details; their primary function is to summarize the main point of the paragraph.
