Introduction

Fact and Opinion

            Persuasive writing always promotes the writer’s judgment or opinion. It’s important to be able to recognize the difference between facts and opinions. Unlike a statement of opinion, a statement of fact can be proven right or wrong.

Hint: Remember that not everyone might agree with an opinion because it can’t be proven. 

For example :

Fact :                                                        Opinion:

Dogs are popular pets                          Dogs are more fun than cats

Spinach is nutritious                             You should eat more spinach
