How it helps

Yessay reviews paragraphs in the context of your draft so it can flag repetition, missing analysis, weak topic sentences, and flow issues.
Example paragraph feedback
Paragraph issue: the quote appears before the point.
Start this paragraph with your claim, then use the quote as support. After the quote, add analysis explaining how it proves the paragraph's point.
Common mistakes
Readers need to know the paragraph's point before seeing the example.
The final sentence should explain the significance, not simply stop after a quote.
If a paragraph has several unrelated jobs, split it or refocus it.
