Coherence literally means "to stick together".

Paragraph coherence can be achieved by using major and minor connectors, these are also called "transitions". Major Connectors: Major connectors help organize the main points of your paragraph. These can also be expressed as bulleted or numbered lists. Examples: First, Finally, Second, In conclusion, Third, To summarize, Minor Connectors: Minor connectors provide coherence to a paragraph by connecting the sentences within each of the main parts of your paragraph.

All the sentences in the paragraph (topic, supporting/detail sentences and sometimes, the conclusion sentence) are telling the reader about one main topic or idea. If you have a sentence that is not directly related to your main topic, your paragraph is considered to "lack unity" or the sentence is "off-topic" and should be removed from the paragraph. Each paragraph in your article is a sub-division of your complete article topic.
