The main idea of a piece of writing is the central point the author is trying to make. This can be an opinion, arguement, or general idea. Most of the time, not all the time, the main idea is usually near the beginning and sets up the rest of what the writing will be about. To find the main idea of a passage there are a few questions you can first ask yourself.

Is what am I reading about ...?
1. Person
2. Idea
3. Theory
4. Event
