Distinguishing Between
FACT AND OPINION
What are the differences?
OPINIONS
 An opinion is a statement that cannot
be proved or checked
 It tells what someone thinks, feels, or
believes
 Clue words for opinion statements are:
 think, feel, believe, seem
 always, never, all, none, most, least,
best, greatest, worst
FACTS
 Facts are statements that can be checked or
proved
 We can check facts by conducting some sort
of experiment, observation, or by
verifying (checking) the fact with a source
document
 Facts often contain numbers, dates, or ages
 Facts might include specific information
about a person, place or thing
HINTS FOR DECIDING IF A
STATEMENT IS FACT OR OPINION
 To recognize a FACT:
 Read each answer choice and ask yourself:
 Can this statement be proved?
Example: Which of these is a fact?
A. We live in the best apartment in the city.
B. I believe that summer is the best season.
C. I think that spaghetti is a delicious meal.
D. The Poughkeepsie Journal is a newspaper.
HINTS FOR DECIDING IF A
STATEMENT IS A FACT OR
OPINION
 To recognize an OPINION:
 Read each answer choice and ask
yourself Does this statement tell what
someone thinks, feels, or believes?
 Look in the answer choice for clue
words that signal an opinion
OPINION EXAMPLES:
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT AN
OPINION STATEMENT?
 I think that Colorado is the best state in
which to live.
 Chocolate cake is the most delicious kind of
dessert.
 Nearly 65% of our teens are over-weight.
 Taylor Swift is the greatest singer ever!
When youre writing.
 Remember:
 Facts are often used
to support opinions
 Good opinions are
based on facts, but
they are still opinions
