Types of paragraphs


There are four sorts of paragraphs that you simply got to know about: descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive. A fast search round the internet will yield other types, but to stay this easy, it is a good idea to think about just these four.

Descriptive paragraph: 

                  This type of paragraph describes something and shows the reader what a thing or an individual is like. The words chosen within the description often appeal to the five senses of touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste. Descriptive paragraphs are often artistic and should deviate from grammatical norms.

Narrative paragraph: 

                     This type of paragraph describes a story. There's a sequence of action or there's a clear beginning, in middle, and end to the paragraph. 

Expository paragraph: 

                     This type of paragraph describes something or provides instructions. It could also explain a process and move the reader step by step through a method. This type of paragraph requires research, but it's possible that the writer is able to rely on his or her own knowledge and expertise. 

Persuasive paragraph: 

                      This type of paragraph tries to urge the reader to simply accept a specific point of view or understand the writer's position. This is often the sort of paragraph that a lot of teachers specialize in because it's useful when building an argument. It often requires the gathering of facts and research.

His benefits could also be considered as a parallel to what is called comforts or conveniences in arrangements of private nature, like a simple chair or good fire, which do their part in dispelling cold and fatigue, though nature provides both means of rest and animal heat without them.” — J.E.
