General Statements are usually the topic sentence or the main idea of the paragraph while Specific Statements are the supporting information for the topic sentence or main idea. Example: General Statement: Birds are Insect Controllers. Specific Statement: A 3-ounce baby bird will eat 5 ½ ounces of insects. Birds eat almost twice their own weight.
