I am writing a paper but I don't know how to move back to the main section after I'm done writing a sub-section, like this:

    1.1 Main section
    1.1.1 subsection 1
    1.1.2 subsection 2

As I write long subsections I don't how can I make readers understand that we are back in the Main section. Two pages goes by on subsections but then I want to do a proper finish by ending the main section after those 2 subsections but I don't know how to indicate this without pointing it out.

Basically I want to end it like this:

    1.1 Main section (starting)
    1.1.1 Sub section 1
    ..writing...
    1.1.2 Sub section 2
    ..writing...
    *and then back to Main section 1.1*
    1.1 Main section (ending)

**How can I make that proper ending of Main Section after writing subsections?**
