Main Idea The main idea of a paragraph is the essence of a paragraph. If you were to summarize a passage in a single sentence or idea, you would find that passage’s main idea. To locate the main id ... ea, read the entire passage and pay close attention to the last few sentences. Typically, the main idea is summarized at the close of the first paragraph, or at the close of a paragraph. Supporting Details Supporting details exist to support the main idea. In a paragraph format, these details come after the topic sentence―the first sentence in a paragraph, usually―and before the final sentence. Supporting details serve as pillars to “hold up” the main idea of a passage or paragraph, and could also be identified as proof or evidence of an idea. [Show More]
