Comprehension Fact and Opinion A fact is a
statement that can be proved as true. Writers
use facts when writing informational texts about
various subjects. They may also use facts to
support their opinions. An opinion is a statement
that tells what someone thinks or believes.
Signal words and phrases, such as I think, I
believe, or I feel may alert readers to opinions.
Strong adjectives that are likely to be
expressions of the authors feelings, such as
ugly, exciting, terrible, or scary can also be
clues that an opinion is being stated.
