When To Use
The conclusion is the final section of an essay. It summarizes the points made in the essay and restates the thesis statement in different words.Students are usually taught to write an essay in three parts, with the first part being the introduction, followed by the body and ending with a conclusion.While the introduction is often considered the most important part of an essay, the conclusion is often the trickiest part to write. The goal of the conclusion is to summarize all of the major points of the essay without repeating them word for word.Articles, opinion pieces, blog posts, research papers, and other types of writing also include conclusions to tie all the points together and emphasize their importance.
