Question: What are facts, opinion, or detailed information, and how can they be used in writing paragraphs? Facts, opinion, and detailed information are specific details about a certain subject. Facts are true and can be proven, as opposed to opinion, which is what someone thinks. An opinion might also be a fact, but if there is no proof, it is still considered an opinion. Often in a classroom where students are learning to write paragraphs, …showed first 75 words of 290 total…

…showed last 75 words of 290 total…sentence, which is opinion. However, every other sentence contains detailed information about that particular topic sentence. To be clear about these words' meanings (fact, opinion, and details), be sure to look them up at Keyword: dictionary.
