Facts vs. Opinions
Facts and opinions are two
types of statements that
we encounter in everyday
life, but they are very
1. Facts are statements that can be
proven true or false through evidence,
research, or observation. They are
objective and remain the same for
everyone, regardless of personal beliefs.
Example: "The Earth orbits the Sun."
This is a fact because it is supported
by scientific evidence and can be
2. Opinions, on the other hand, are
personal beliefs, feelings, or thoughts that
cannot be proven true or false.
Opinions are subjective and can vary from
person to person. They often reflect
individual preferences, tastes, or
judgments.
Example: "Chocolate ice cream is the
best flavor." This is an opinion because it
Key Differences:
• Facts are verifiable and
objective; they can be
checked against evidence.
• Opinions are subjective and
personal; they reflect
individual perspectives and
are not based on proof.
Why It Matters:
Understanding the difference between
facts and opinions is essential for critical
thinking. When reading or listening to
information, it's important to ask whether
the statement is a fact (supported by
evidence) or an opinion (a personal
belief). Recognizing this helps us make
more informed decisions and avoid being
misled by biased or unverified
information.

Points for Discussion (Teacher’s
Guide)
● A fact is a generally acceptable statement that
can be proven true based on objective evidence. In
other words, the statement is verifiable by truthful
accounts (figures, dates, statistical reports,
research findings, etc.).
● A fact is an event that happens, is happening, or
has happened.
● Facts are essential and crucial for understanding
and evaluating information from multimodal
platforms and forming informed opinions and
decisions.
● Factual statements are supported with
references and expressions like ‘according to,’
● An opinion, on the other hand, is a statement
of feelings or viewpoints about a subject that
may not be based on evidence or may not be
verifiable by truthful accounts.
● An opinion may be believed to exist or have
occurred, but the evidence may not be objective
and reliable.
● Most opinionated statements use signal
phrases like, 'I think,' 'I believe,' 'In my
opinion,' 'In my viewpoint/point of view,' 'In
