Hi there, Glenn. If you think about an essay, it’s kind of like a journey. In the introduction paragraph, you’re exploring the answer, and introducing what you’ll be talking about. I think of it as sort of the obvious answer to the question. After you write your three paragraphs though, you’ve gone on your journey, and you should have learned something new. That’s what you put in your conclusion. What is the more meaningful answer? The deeper answer? An answer you wouldn’t have thought of when you first started.

Does that make any sense?

Hey Liz, was wondering if u could give me a little advice on the GED essay writing. I’m having trouble with the introduction and conclusion paragraphs. The middle (body) is not so much a problem. But how do i come in and end without saying the same thing over and over again for the begging, middle, and end?

Hish,

If you feel like your sentences are too long, there’s nothing wrong with keeping them small. Most every sentence should have a verb and a subject. Like, “The DOG RAN to the park.” If you’ve got more than one subject, “The DOG RAN to the park, and the CAT SAW him and HID,” then your sentence might be getting a little too long. If you have any example sentences that you’re not sure about you can always post them, and I’ll let you know if they’re all right or could use some help.

hi liz, i red most of you answers and i learned a lot from it. i have a real proplem staying focused on the topic. once i start a sentence i don’t know where to stop. i don’t know how much details to include in one sentence. sometimes, because i make a sentence too long, i end up making a gramatic error in it. i would appreciate any help. thank you for you time.

Mark,

I’m not sure how to tell you how to understand topics in general. If you could tell me what your topic was for the test, we can look at that specifically and see what sorts of questions you could ask to understand it better.
