A paragraph can contain any number of sentences—even just one. There's no fixed rule. While schools often teach 3-5 sentences per paragraph, professional writing varies by context: academic writing typically uses 3-8 sentences, journalism prefers 1-3, and online content works best with 1-4. Focus on conveying one complete idea clearly rather than counting sentences.
