A counterclaim is a claim made to rebut a previous claim. It is important to have a claim in an essay so it builds up the conflict or "turning point" of the story, and that's what interests the readers.

Having a counterclaim in an argumentative essay allows the author of the essay to address any opposition to his or her claim.

A counterclaim refers to the opposite of the argument, or the opposing argument. A reason tells why the claim is made and is supported by the evidence.

Counterplace constitutes one of the main important parts of a argumentative essay along with claims , reasons, and evidence.
