What makes a strong thesis statement

A thesis statement is the one or two sentences, usually at the end of your introduction, that tell the reader what your essay will argue or explain. The Purdue OWL and most university writing centres describe the same three tests:

  • Specific: it names a clear claim, not just a topic. “Social media” is a topic; “Schools should teach students to spot misleading posts” is a claim.
  • Arguable (for argumentative essays): a reasonable reader could disagree.
  • Previews the support: it hints at the main reasons the body paragraphs will cover.

Weak vs strong

Four types of thesis

  • Argumentative: takes a position and gives reasons.
  • Analytical: breaks a text, event or idea into parts and says what they show.
  • Expository: explains a topic and previews the points, without arguing.
  • Compare & contrast: names two subjects and the key similarity or difference.

Once you have a thesis, frame each body paragraph with the topic sentence generator, draft them with the paragraph generator, and close with the conclusion generator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write a thesis statement?

Turn your topic into a question, answer it in one sentence, then add the two or three main reasons or points you will develop. Revise it once your body paragraphs are written so the thesis matches what you actually argued.

How long should a thesis statement be?

Usually one sentence, sometimes two for longer college essays. If it needs three or more sentences, it is probably trying to cover too much.

Where does the thesis go?

In most school and college essays, at the end of the introduction paragraph, so the reader knows the argument before the body begins.

Can I use a generated thesis in my essay?

Use the options as a starting point and rewrite the one you pick in your own words. Many schools restrict submitting AI-written text, so check your course policy.

Is the thesis statement generator free?
