Hello,
Grammatically speaking, a sentence is terminated by a dot. If you want to count the number of sentences, you just have to count the number of dots

Here is a piece of code. Not tested but the idea is here
int main() {     char paragraph[1000];     int nbChar, nbSentences;         // display prompt and get paragraph    clrscr();    printf("Enter your a paragraph

: ");     gets(paragraph);     // get number of characters    nbChar = strlen(paragraph);        // read paragraph and count dot character    nbSentences = 0;    for (int i=0; i<nbChar; i++)    {        if (paragraph[i]=='.')        {            nbSentences++;        }    }    // display result    printf("

Total sentences: %d", nbSentences);     getch();    return 0; } 

Note: I've renamed your variables to make sense
