The first sentence of any paragraph, which comines with main idea and subidea is called topic sentence.🥰

[@Englishing]

Sorry I don’t understand

[@Zen0610]

Hi thanks so much for this video.... Is there a difference between a topic for an essay and for survey? My teacher won't approve my topics because she said it was an essay not for survey.

[@Englishing]

A topic is part of a thesis statement. However, it can be a topic for anything else.

what is the difference between a topic sentence and a thesis sentence?

[@Englishing]

Topic sentence is the subject of the sentence, and the thesis is a complete argument (a standpoint) on an issue.
