Just in case, though, the general pattern for an essay is this:

Paragraph One

Introduces the topic and presents the ideas that support what you have to say about that topic.

It should have an opening sentence, the ideas presented in a sentence or two and then a closing sentence.

Paragraph Two

Talks about the first topic and had two or three sentences that support what you have to say about it. Then a closing sentence pretty much restating the opening sentence.

Paragraph Three

Talks about the second topic and then follows the same pattern as Paragraph One.

Paragraph Four

Talks about the third topic and then again follows the same pattern as the other two paragraphs.

Paragraph Five

The closing paragraph

Beginning statement should refer back to the opening statement and then the next sentences should summarize what paragraph 2, 3 and 4 had to say. The closing sentence ties it all together, basically saying “this is what I thought in the beginning, and this is how I proved it”

This is the general format for essays. The number of sentences you use in each paragraph can vary, but you always have an opening sentence, supporting statements and a closing statement for every paragraph.
