Welcome to the Fact or Opinion Learning Space.
Fact:
Fact:
A fact is something that can be proven true or false:
A dog is a mammal.
Ariana Grande is a singer.
There are seven continents.
Grass is green.
Those are all easy to get: They’re not only facts, but you can verify that they’re true.
Opinion:
Opinion:
An opinion, meanwhile, is something that can’t be proven true or false. It is how someone thinks or feels:
Baseball is a terrible game.
Pink is an excellent colour.
Anna is better than Elsa.
Minecraft is weird.
I might personally think these things, and I might have really good reasons why I think them all, but that doesn’t make them facts because they’re not provable.
