Yup. The Thesis is usually towards the end of the intro, but it is in the same paragraph. The intro is what you are going to talk about and the thesis is your opinion on it. (I’m an english major, i would know this stuff)

yes, if you are writing a normal format paragraph then it goes like this(if u r in middlschool or high school ) intro, begin with hook, good opening, don’t do thesis until at the end of the intro then state your stand on the issue… body, rewrite thesis for eveytopic sentence in the bodies… conclusion, begin with rewritten thesis then go broader like a triangle, begin at the top, narrow, then work your way down to the main idea

Yes, the thesis is part of the introduction. You argue what you are going to be proving throughout the essay.

an anecdote/story or a quotation will do to start an intro. It helps to bring your mood or inspire you to write something. But of course as you write, you probably change your introduction. After you tell your story or use a quotation, try to relate it with your topic and then state your topic sentence/ thesis statement

Never. In the introduction, you state the problem and how you wanted to solve it. During the thesis, you write the answer.

yes you do. The introduction gives background on the subject, tells what direction you’re going to attack it from, and the ideas you will present. In there somewhere should be your thesis–like your hypothesis on the subject–your idea on the subject.

Yes. The thesis basically states what issue your paper will address and what position you’re taking.

Yes. The intro contains a “hook” and a thesis. The hook is what gets your readers’ attention, and the thesis is what you’re trying to tell them.
