To understand the main idea of an informational text, you should ask yourself
“Does the author include relevant details?”
“What is this mostly about?”
“Which facts support the claim?”
“What evidence does the author provide?”
There is a slight error in the title of this question :)
Instead of ‘if my dad would let me’, it’s ‘had my dad let me (remember this useful phrase ending). This is because you can’t have a double ‘would’ in the same phrase.
Fake news can be prevented by reporting someone if its completely incorrect and monitored by fact checking :)
