đź‘“ Thesis Sentence Examples
Now let’s take a look at some good and not-so-good examples made according to the 3 key criteria of a correctly formulated thesis statement. Below you'll find the questions you should ask yourself about your thesis once you’ve formulated it. Then we provide short but illustrative tables with examples and add some explanations.
Question #1: Did I Answer the Question Formulated in the Topic?
The topic was “What are the causes of pressure ulcers?”. The thesis sentence in the left column is inappropriate, as it doesn’t answer the question.
In the stronger example, the causes are specific, and the sentence fully answers the topic question.
Question #2: Have I Taken a Position in the Debate?
The bad example repeats the topic and tells nothing new. It is better to state your opinion.
On the contrary, reading the better example will dispel the doubts about your opinion even if the topic formulation was debatable.
Question #3: Is the Thesis Sufficiently Specific?
The thesis sentence in the let column is too general. Which specific problems caused by alcohol consumption do you plan to analyze in your paper?
In the good example, the reasons are specific. It doesn’t mean you should list each factor mentioned throughout the text. Otherwise, the sentence will be overloaded. But the central explored areas should be included.

âť“ Thesis Creator FAQ
âť“ What Is a Thesis Sentence in an Essay?
A thesis sentence (also known as a thesis statement) informs the reader about the essay’s topic in the context of your intentions. It presents your opinion and argumentation plans that you will develop in the main body. But most importantly, it poses the limits for your research, explaining what it is not about.
âť“ What Is the Difference Between a Topic Sentence and a Thesis Statement?
A thesis statement is the last sentence of your introductory paragraph, while a topic sentence starts each main body paragraph. The former embraces the entire essay and its ideas. The latter presents only one argument that will be covered in the respective paragraph.
âť“ How to Write a Good Thesis Sentence?
A good thesis sentence provides an outline of the author’s position on the topic. It is a synthesis of everything you will say. Thus, it should mention the essential arguments but be concise and clear. This is not a place for mystery – you can introduce it in the title if you please.
âť“ How Long Should a Thesis Sentence Be?
Keep your thesis sentence in line with the overall style of your writing. Our recommendation is not to exceed the limit of 20-25 words. Still, lengthy expressions are acceptable in scholarly texts. In practice, a thesis sentence in an informative essay is usually shorter than the same in a persuasive one.
