talking based on fact or opinion

 Hello readers, 

Today, i've learned about how to identify which of the statement is fact or opinion. Uuuhhh i am so excited because today is a combination between class A and class B i have a lot of friends at class B that's why i feel a little bit comfort  that night. We have been separated to a few group and miss zu has given a task to promote the product and we must to identify which statement is fact and which is opinion. And the group who get the highest mark will be a winner. too bad my group lost the game. but its oke .maybe we will be lucky next time.

okay now let me show u the example of fact and opinion

A FACT

Fact is objective information that can be checked /proved to be true, the information does not change and not a statement about the future.

want to identify fact
?? its easy let me show u
  • use  dates and years
  • use of statistics / figures / precise numbers or quantities
  • use defination
  • when stating  a geographical or scientific fact
OPINION
Opinion is a statement that cannot be proved to be true or false and can be a statement of the future.

Clues to identify opinions:
  • use adjective when change point of view or emotion. eg: exciting/fun/worst
  • the use of comparison words which shows a comparison between two or more things. eg: more/most/better/worst/least
  • use of other words that shows frequency, possibility, advisability, and necessity.                       eg: probably/likely/perhaps/may/should/must/always/usually/often/occasionally
  • use phrases that show a belief, suggestion, feelling, and an opinion. eg: in my opinion/i feel/appear
