APA says that a ¶ should be at least 5 sentences long. ¶'s should not be a lot longer, because when you get long winded in a ¶ you usually end up carrying your ¶ to far into your next point. The last sentence of your ¶ should be a lead in sentence to intro. the next topic/point for the next ¶.

Answer 5

My Language Arts teacher says that paragraphs should have no less than five sentences and no more than 8.

five or more...but i mean this can not be a definite answer..because you might write a complex, simple, compund, or copound-complex sentences...you can never say how many sentences a paragraph should be because there is alot of difference in how the ideas are stated if you used mostly simple sentences then complex..its all how you state your ideas and how well you inform and explicate in one paragraph depending on the topic and also what role it plays
