FACT
A fact is something that can be proved true. An example of a fact is The sun is shining today. You can prove this statement by looking out the window.
OPINION
An opinion is a statement that tells what a person thinks, feels, or believes. An example of an opinion is Swimming is the best way to spend a sunny day. You might agree with this statement, but not everyone shares this belief.
OPINION
Certain words can help you recognize an opinion. Some of these are I think and I believe. Other clues to opinions are words such as best, prettiest, worst, and wonderful. It is important to remember that people can have different opinions.
