OPINION
Facts
A fact is a statement that can be proven to be true by the use of evidence. Factual statements
are true in all cases and for all people; in other words, facts are universal.
Some examples include:
Dogs are mammals.
Albany is the capital of New York.
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth.
Opinions
Opinions, unlike facts, are neither true nor false. An opinion can express a belief, attitude,
value, judgment, or feeling.
Some examples include:
Dogs are the best mammals in existence.
Albany is the most interesting city in New York.
World War II was a terrible war.
