I sometimes get tripped up distinguishing between premises and background context. Sometimes I miss a premise because I think it’s just context, and other times I mistake context for a premise. Has anyone else struggled with this? If so, what strategies have helped you get better at telling the difference? I’ve already gone through the explanations in the core curriculum, and it's not really clicking - I’d really appreciate some fresh perspectives.

Honestly this sometimes happens to me too and it can be difficult on some of those 4-5 star questions to differentiate premises and context. Something that helps me though is to first keep an eye out for the conclusion and find that, which is usually apparent by some transition word. Then, I'd simply ask myself "why should i believe this conclusion" and refer back to the argument and find the statements that would support the conclusion and just run with those as my premises. Sometimes its easier to find this when words like "because", "since", "after all" are used, but other times its just trying to dissect little details and really take my time figuring out the role of each sentence.
