In Spanish I can say both "Este párrafo nos dice..." or "En este párrafo vemos/descubirmos/etc....". I've written "This paragraph tells us...", but maybe "In this paragraph we see that..." or "This paragraph shows us..." would be better. What do you think?
Thanks.

Thanks.All three are excellent :D:rolleyes: but there may be subtle differences. If you are wanting to express the main thrust of the paragraph, then #1 and #3 are fine. Perhaps with #2, you are wanting to draw conclusions which the paragraph does not make explicit, but provides information for you. :thinking:
Generally, I'd choose #3 :)

Couldn't have said it better.
