Opinion: A belief or judgment that cannot be proven true or false. Examples: I think ice cream is the best dessert, I don't like broccoli.

Did you know?
Fact and opinion are two different types of statements, and it’s important to understand the difference between them. A fact is a statement that can be proven to be true, while an opinion is a statement that expresses a person’s feelings. In some cases, it can be difficult to determine if a statement is a fact or an opinion. For example, someone might say 'Cats are the best pets', which is an opinion, but 'Cats have fur' is a fact. It's possible to express opinions as facts. For example, if someone said 'Cats make the best pets', it might sound like a fact, but it is actually an opinion.
