Supporting Sentences

After creating your topic sentence (with a clear topic and the main idea), start brainstorming what your supporting sentences are going to be about. It is necessary to think about the main idea to do that. The sentences you use to support your statement can be examples, reasons why you think that, descriptions of your topic, arguments, causes, effects, and so on.

It is essential to do this before starting writing. Like that, you can have a clear idea of what you consider fundamental to express in your paragraph. Write down as many support topics as you can.
What you have to do next is to choose at least three support topics and develop your ideas. You should write at least one or two sentences for each supporting topic chosen.

Remember to use different connectors when writing your supporting sentences. It is crucial to link your ideas when you put all the sentences together.

Example of supporting sentences (one for each supporting topic):

Convenient: First, they are easy to eat. I can peel the banana, eat it, and throw the peel in the garbage.
Delicious: Additionally, I can eat bananas with cereal, other fruits, and ice cream. I can also eat it fried, and it tastes great every time.
Nutritious: Finally, they contain fiber, potassium, and vitamins, so they are very healthy.
