Paragraph Rule # 3 Supporting Sentence: a supporting sentence supports the idea made in the topic sentence. Supporting sentences include concrete details, commentaries, facts, examples, opinions, and analyses. Include as many supporting sentences as necessary, but not more than you need.
There are two main types of supporting sentences:
Facts: are know to be true and have sources to prove what you are saying.
Opinion: is what you believe and want others to as well.
- Example Supporting Sentence (Fact): Lebron James has won four league MVPs, two Finals MVP, and an Olympic gold medal.
- Example Supporting Sentence (Opinion): Lebron’s gold medal Olympic performance capped off one of the greatest years in the history of the sport.
