Is this your own assignment?  What I would do first is see if there is any certain topic you have to find for class.  Let's use English as our subject.  So, find a book that you like and find a long paragraph!  The main idea is the main point that the author is trying to get across.  This is usually in the first or the last sentence.  Then the supporting details are the ones that give more meaning to the main idea.  \n\nAn exmaple:  A main idea would be, "Tom Thumb is a small man."  and your supporting details would be, "He is so small that he is only the size of someone's thumb.  He got lost in my pocket once!  A cat mistook him for a mouse!"\n\nAfter you read the supporting details, you understand exactly how small Tom is.  The next paragraph might have the main idea about how Tom is funny.  The next might be about how Tom eats a lot of food.\n\nThe other post is a good way of showing how when you write an essay or a book that all the main ideas get put together to form one big idea.  All of my examples put together could be an essay with the main idea, or subject, about, "The Man Called Tom Thumb."\n\nHope this illustrates your questtion!  Good luck with main ideas... you are on your way to being a great writer!

Paraphrase: Write it in Your Own Words\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_paraphr.html\n\nPractice Exercises in Paraphrasing\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_paraphrEX1.html\n\nA paraphrase is an indirect quotation. It must be documented because it relates in your own words and style the thoughts you have borrowed from another person. Paraphrases are more flexible than quotations. They fit more smoothly into your text, and you can express your own interpretations as you paraphrase.\n\nhttp://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/usingpara.html\n\nhttp://www.utoronto.ca/ucwriting/paraphrase.html\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

The definition of an idiom is "a phrase or expression that has a meaning different from the original words that make it up. Here are some examples:\n\nHorse feathers (meaning 'nonsense')\n\nMad as a wet hen (meaning 'very, very vexed')\n\nSee the handwriting on the wall (meaning 'warning of a probable danger')\n\nTo lead [some]one down (or up) the garden path (meaning 'to deceive' or 'to bamboozle')\n\nTo take (something) lying down (meaning: someone who would take something lying down is spineless, a bootlicker, a stooge)\n\nEnglish (and most other languages) are filled with thousands of idiomatic expressions.

It is not a sentence...\n\nBeneath the noted universal concerns there lies a distinctive world view.\n\n Or better yet use a semi colon after the word preceeding but ..then replacing it with however and a comma...like this \n\n" ; however, beneath these universal concerns there lies a distinctive worldview."

All of writing well in English is breaking things up.\n\nThere, I made that one sentence into a paragraph of its own in order to give it emphasis.  One rule about paragraphs: if you want to emphasize, keep them short.  They have more impact.\n\nJust as punctuation breaks up sentences, and with the period breaks paragraphs up into sentences, so the white space between paragraphs creates a division to be used by the author for clarity.  Just as a short paragraph has more impact, a short sentence has more impact.  You know it's true.\n\nWhen you begin a paragraph, you should already know the basic thought it is meant to convey.  Building a paragraph is like building a sandwich.\n\nStart with the "bread" of introduction, which tells what your point will be.  Then put the meat in the middle, where you spice it up with facts and examples to illustrate your point.  Finally, summarize or "cover" it with another piece of "bread," in the form of the punch line or "kicker."  \n\nBuilding a paragraph is like building a sandwich.
