Paragraph = One Topic Sentence + Supporting Sentences (+ A Summary or Conclusion)
The subject of the topic sentence is usually the subject idea of the paragraph.
Topic Sentence The verb and complement (predicate) of the topic sentence usually show the focus of the paragraph. The focus part of the topic sentences usually presents a judgment or attitude about the subject. A subordinate word group is sometimes used in the topic sentence to define the focus still further.
