The fundamentals to a grammatically correct paper

Most papers start out with some type of argument in which is supported by a list of claims as evidence. Usually it begins with an attention getter that gives interest in the material. One thing to really create is the thesis statement. The first paragraph usually states the three main points of the body of the paper. The audience must be able to answer these questions to really have read a good paper: why, what, where, and when. There are other important variables to a good research paper. For Example if you’re doing a paper about fishes, the writer should go to an aquarium or a place with fishes.

One of the most important points of the paper is why because people want to know the whole purpose. A lot of times when you’re explaining why you should use four or five points that support why. This is a relatively easy point because it references to the sole purpose of the whole paper. Also supporting that is the development of the ideas by using factual knowledge. Sometimes draw relationships between the different points to show how there all connected in some way.

The second thing that is one key to a good essay is the how. This is the most factual information because this is where the writer would start the story. That means the dates and events would have to be in logical order. Also explain the steps that led up to what in the story. Then based on what happens you would justify the change in some of the things in the story.

The last things that you can add is were. Where is one of the ones that are decided on the writer because not everything can tell where or when. But most importantly it sets the mood for the essay. Depending on the place it can really change the idea. The time usually isn’t so much as dates
