# Adding a paragraph question

Use a paragraph question when you want a person to provide a written answer to a question. You can use a paragraph question in both questionnaires and quizzes. However, you can't grade a paragraph question within ENGAGE.

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
