Don"t say sub-premise , only adjective for premise is main premise . When mapping an argument start at the top. Then ask yourself what reasons does this person give to believe this directly. Illustrative examples : to help you understand what their saying. Something that is glaringly missing- write in one line e. g. he should have given more examples for or if nothing is missing say there is nothing missing. Mention if something is off-topic , shouldn"t be there. Then if the premise is acceptable or not.
