Wellington School Grammar and Punctuation Worksheets (LML)
A paragraph is a group of sentences. These sentences talk about the
same thing, or follow on from each other.
Every time you start a new paragraph, you’re showing something new has
happened:
When you talk about a new person
Each time a person speaks
When you start writing about a new place
When your answer moves to a different time.
A) Write the letters of the paragraphs in the order in which they
happened.
