A paragraph should not be started with the word besides. This is because is would make for a very rough transition from the preceding paragraph.
Sure, you can start a paragraph with the word by. By starting a paragraph in this manner, I give an example of what I am talking about.
there are many ways to write explanatory paragraphbut i believe the best way is to use the 6 step proses. for example if your are writing about a quote. 1.before you start writing read the quote 2 times 2.the first paragraph is the opining which should have a hook sentence followed by a topic sentence.3.the second paragraph should be what you believe the authors intent of the quote .should start with a transition word and follow by a topic sentence. 4.the third paragraph should be your interpretation should start with a transition word followed by a topic sentence. 5.the forth paragraph should have a life experience in it should start with a transition and followed by a topic sentence. 6.the last paragraph should state what you have learned from the quote.by waseem
You should not start a paragraph with the word To. To begin a paragraph with To makes an awkward construction and makes it harder to read.
yes
yes you can
Because it will help the reader move easily from one idea to the next
not exactly. a transitional word is a word that you use when you make a new paragraph or whatever. an example is Next or Then or Second but there are many more.
Click Tab before the first word in your paragraph(in Microsoft Word). In real life you place two finger before you start writing. Start your paragraph after your 2 fingers(if you are an adult, a thumb with do it)
yes, you can use it for the start of a dependent clause or a transition word
you would start off with also,the title of your story,essay or whatever you are talking about and NEVER NEVER NEVER start a paragraph with the word AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should not start a new paragraph when continuing the same thought or idea. Keep related information together within the same paragraph to maintain coherence and clarity in your writing.
