Supporting details are pieces of information or evidence that help to further explain or support the main idea or topic sentence of a paragraph. They provide additional information, examples, or explanations to enhance the reader's understanding of the main idea.

They are not the same as the main idea or topic sentence. The main idea or topic sentence is the central idea or point that the paragraph is focused on, while the supporting details are the specific examples or evidence that support or illustrate that main idea.

To identify the supporting details in a paragraph, you can follow these steps:

1. Read the paragraph carefully and understand the main idea or topic sentence.
2. Look for statements, examples, or evidence that give more information about or support the main idea.
3. Pay attention to sentences that provide additional details, explanations, examples, or statistics.
4. Identify specific words or phrases that indicate a supporting detail, such as "for example," "in addition," "furthermore," "also," "moreover," etc.

By analyzing the content of the paragraph and considering the purpose of the text, you can identify the supporting details that expand upon or clarify the main idea or topic sentence.
