Facts and Opinions are two terms that can be used to interpret people's belief and observation about a particular concept. Most times people use the truth about something as a fact, and most times, people give their own view, observation about something as that thing is occurring to them in the form of opinion. The word ''Fact'' is from the Latin word 'Factum' which can be translated to mean 'deed'. Opinion, on the other hand, is from the Latin word 'Opinio' and it can be interpreted in different ways.

Fact is like something that has been found to be true and has been agreed upon by a substantial number of people. For example, it is a known fact that death is inevitable for all living things, this can no longer raise any doubt from anybody. Opinion, on the other hand, is not always the truth. This is because my opinion about something will largely be based on my belief about that thing which might differ from how other people will see it.
