Definition of paragraph for Students. : a part of a piece of writing that is made up of one or more sentences and has to do with one topic or gives the words of one speaker.
A paragraph is one of the greatest tools you have in organizing your writing. It's a simple, almost subconscious way of cluing your reader in on the divisions that underlie your thinking.

Writers today, however, tend not to go on the way classical authors did. In academic writing, most paragraphs include at least three sentences, though rarely more than ten.
