Summary

The difference between fact and opinion

In a nutshell

Facts are statements that you can completely trust because they are statements that are true, whether you like it or not. On the other hand, opinions are statements based on thoughts and feelings, making them more like judgements. This summary will show you how to spot the difference between fact and opinion. 



Facts

Facts are true and can be backed up by evidence. They are not based on thoughts or feelings, they are simply true. 


Example

Tottenham Hotspur FC is a football club in England. 

  • This is a fact because it is completely true. 

​

​

Opinion

Opinions, unlike facts, are based on how people think or feel about something. This means that different people can have different opinions about the same thing, depending on how each person thinks or feels about it. They are like personal judgements. 


Example

Tottenham Hotspur FC is the best football club in England. 

  • This is an opinion because it is not something that can be completely proven. Instead, it is an example of what someone might think or feel about Tottenham Hotspur FC.
