While not all paragraphs include a concluding sentence, you should always consider whether one is appropriate. Concluding sentences have three crucial roles in paragraph writing. They draw together the information you have presented to elaborate your controlling idea by: summarising the points you have made.
Should each paragraph have a conclusion?
Your conclusion paragraph should logically conclude your essay, just like your concluding sentences logically conclude your body paragraphs. The conclusion paragraph should begin by restating your thesis, and then you should broaden back out to a general topic. End with a closing statement.
How do you end a paragraph with no conclusion?
You can use the following expressions:
- To sum up,
- All in all,
- In summary,
- To conclude,
- In closing,
- Finally, it may be concluded…
- To summarize,
- Overall, it may be said…
