- 0 Comments
Coherence literally means “to stick together”. Coherence in paragraph writing means that all of the ideas in a paragraph support the topic sentence of your paragraph and allow the reader to easily understand the ideas you want to express.

Each paragraph in your article is a sub-division of your complete article topic.
