Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage.
Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentences of a paragraph. The main idea can be expressed as a summation of the information in the paragraph as well as a link to the information in the next paragraph.

Should you have a capital letter in a quotation Mark
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

that depends.

Explanation:

If you are only using the capital letter, I'll use 'A' as an example, here is a sentence this would work; And as I was finishing up the letter to my love, I wrote "Love, Yours truly, 'A'.", and this is how you should always write a stand alone capital letter.(:

You're welcome!
