Structuring Ideas Effectively

Logical flow means your ideas connect smoothly from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph. Good organization helps readers follow your argument or story.

Transitions

• Use transition words like "however," "for example," and "in addition."
• Arrange sentences so each idea builds on the previous one.

Paragraph Unity

• Keep each paragraph focused on a single main idea.
• Remove sentences that don’t support the main point.

SAT Application

You'll often be asked to rearrange sentences or choose the best placement for a new sentence. Think about what makes the most sense for the reader.

Real-World Use

Whether writing an essay or organizing a presentation, logical flow keeps your audience engaged and informed.
