    What Is an Essay Introduction?

    An introduction opens the essay. It helps readers understand the topic, why it matters, and what kind of point or explanation the essay will develop.

    Core idea

    • Introductions orient the reader before the body paragraphs begin.
    • A strong opening usually combines attention, context, and direction.
    • The introduction sets expectations for tone, topic, and purpose.

    How to use it well

    • Start with a relevant opening that creates interest without distracting from the topic.
    • Give just enough background to help readers understand the issue or subject.
    • End by leading clearly into the essay’s main point or focus.

    Introduction focus

    A strong introduction helps the reader know what the essay is about and why it is worth reading.
