GRADE 7 4TH QUARTER

How do you distinguish between fact and opinion?

Difference Between Fact and Opinion. Fact and Opinion are really different in the sense
that Fact is something that is true and Opinion is only a belief. Fact is supported by evidence
and Opinion has no backing of any evidence. A person who makes a factual statement knows that
his opinion comes from Fact.

What is an example of fact and opinion?

In other words, a fact is true and correct, no matter what. An opinion, however, is a statement that
holds an element of belief; it tells how someone feels. An opinion is not always true and cannot be
proven. ... With a little practice, your kids will be telling the difference between fact and opinion like
pros.

According to the Webster’s Dictionary, the fact is “anything that is done or

happened; anything actually existent; any statement strictly true; truth;
reality” and opinion is something that “indicates a belief, view, sentiment, or
conception.”
