Topic sentence. In expository writing, a topic sentence is a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph. It is usually the first sentence in a paragraph. Also known as a focus sentence, it encapsulates or organizes an entire paragraph. Although topic sentences may appear anywhere in a paragraph, in academic essays they often appear at the beginning.
The rest of the sentences of the paragraph are the âexcitingâ or âjuicyâ details that tell about the topic and support it. However, sometimes the âstatedâ Main Idea sentence can be the âgrand finaleâ sentence of the paragraph. The passage may give all the details first, leading up to the Main Idea sentence.
