Usually it’s one sentence, but it’s kind of your claim. Your introduction should have a hook, and then a bridge before your thesis. Thesis is similar to a claim, it’s what you believe or argue . I really hope this helped!

Answer:

Your thesis statement should be one to two sentences.

Your thesis statement should clearly present the main idea of your essay and make some kind of assertion (even if that assertion is about bringing two sides together).

Your thesis should not make an “announcement” about what your essay will cover.

An argumentative thesis must be focused and narrow. A focused, narrow claim is clearer, more able to be supported with evidence, and more persuasive than a broad, general claim.
