Does a paragraph have 5 sentences?

No, a paragraph does not have to have exactly 5 sentences.

Here's why:

* Paragraphs are about ideas: The number of sentences in a paragraph depends on the idea being conveyed.

* Varying lengths: Paragraphs can be short (a few sentences) or long (many sentences).

* Focus and unity: The most important factor is that all sentences in a paragraph relate to a single main idea.

So, a paragraph can have 2, 3, 4, 5, or more sentences, as long as they work together to develop a clear and cohesive thought.
