Why check paragraphs, not just sentences?

Some problems only show up across sentences: switching tenses halfway through, repeating the same word, or starting every sentence the same way. Checking the full paragraph gives the checker the context it needs, and gives you a readability score for the paragraph as a whole.

Signs of a strong paragraph

• One main idea, stated early
• Sentences of different lengths
• Consistent tense from start to finish
• No repeated words in neighboring sentences
• A readability rating that suits your audience
