Every sentence that follows the topic sentence will in some way support or prove the controlling idea. If it doesn't support the idea then it shouldn't be in the paragraph!

The controlling idea in a piece of text tells the reader how the paragraph is held together. It indicates the structure of the paragraph in order to help the reader comprehend the relationship between the various sentences in the paragraph.

Take this statement as an example:

World War I was a dark event in the annals of human history; millions of people died, and many beautiful landscapes were destroyed.

By analyzing key phrases inside the statement such as dark event, people died, and landscapes were destroyed, one can tell that the controlling idea in the text is the dire consequences of World War I.

Irina-Kira [14]

The obvious function of the Prologue as introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people’s destinies. But the Prologue itself creates this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it must fulfill the terms set in the Prologue. The structure of the play itself is the fate from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape.
