A fact is a statement that can be proved. An opinion is a statement of feeling or belief that cannot be proved. Authors of nonfiction text may include both facts and opinions about a topic. Knowing the difference between facts and opinions can help you judge the ideas in a nonfiction text. To decide whether a statement is a fact or an opinion, ask yourself:

  • Does this statement include beliefs or feelings that cannot be proved?
