Recognizing Good Topic Sentences Read the following paragraph. Which sentence do you think is the topic sentence?   On long summer evenings, we would play softball in the street. Sometimes, we’d play until it was so dark that we could barely see the ball.  Then our mothers would come to the front steps of the row houses and call us in, telling us to stop our play.
