Can i start my 5 par. essay by asking a question?

Question

if so.. what else do i have to do? should i answer it right after?

Answer 1

Generally, I would say yes, though some teachers may disapprove. You should explain elements of the question throughout the essay, and wait until the end to formally answer it.

Answer 2

You can. You want to start it out by stating something that will catch the readers' attention.

What is the essay about? Do you have an example of what you might say?

Answer 3

sure you can!! :)

but the question has to be about the essay of course

then, answer the question through out your essay

:]

Answer 4

A question is a great way to start an essay if used correctly. The question should relate to the essay or connect to the sentence after it. Sometimes it is called a "Hook", because it draws people attention to your essay. Make it exciting!
