I found this video and the explanations to be super helpful. For Example 4, I was able to come to pinpoint the main point and come to the correct answer.
However, generally, I have difficulty pinpointing premises.
So for this question, main point set aside, we have:
"Saying something that is false can never be other than morally wrong, and there had been no such accident-Mark had simply forgotten all about the party."
Is this all one big premise, or a bunch of little premises? Does it even matter here? Any tips to easily identify the premises going forward?
Thanks!

I would say it doesn't really matter here, but in general, the way to identify is that a premise is a statement the author uses to prove a point. Other things that do not prove a point could be context, or a point the author intends to rebut,
