Prompt: What is the difference between an opinion and a fact?
An opinion is what one person believes to be true, a prediction of what someone thinks will likely happen or someone's feeling about something.
A fact is something that can be proven to be true (The Earth is round) or is believed to be true because there is no substantive evidence to counter it. A person's individual account of an event can be an unverified fact.
