Comparative and Argumentative

Have you ever heard of the comparative and argumentative paragraph? Well, today I am going to tell you what is the use, the parts to form them and how to distinguish one from the other, these two types of paragraphs are very important because they help us to express and understand these two different paragraphs much more clearly.

 

First I will talk about the comparative paragraph which is used to present the differences and similarities of an idea, thing, object or place, the same is useful for any type of topic we want to do, the parts of this paragraph are: first, we put the Introduction of the comparison criteria, then we put the First element in comparison, it is important to use the Comparative logical connector because it will help us to differentiate the comparative paragraph, this is the last part of a comparative paragraph and it is the Second element in comparison which will help us to understand the whole paragraph, to be able to recognize a comparative paragraph we have to notice that it has categories or criteria which are fundamental to compare and contrast the ideas, sometimes the comparative paragraph seeks to strengthen the author's point of view and would be joining evidence so we can be confident of any other considerations and now let's go to the argumentative paragraph.

After having already spoken of the comparative paragraph we will talk about the argumentative paragraph is the one that helps us to unite several ideas and to create a single one which serves to convince the reader of a point of view, there are really many ways to argue which would be inductive and deductive these are the most known, the parts of this type of paragraph are: Central idea of the paragraph is located at the beginning of the paragraph, Secondary idea: argument of authority and finally Secondary idea which is important to put an example that serves as evidence of the arguments already said at the beginning or in the development of the paragraph, how to realize that it is an argumentative paragraph simply we will realize that its purpose is going to be to convince with valid and coherent arguments.

Finally, we have talked about the comparative paragraph is to present the differences and similarities of an idea, thing, object or place and the argumentative paragraph serves to create a concrete idea of a topic. Thank you very much for reading.
