Hi,
My dictionary offers this.
fact
1, a thing that is known to have occured, exist or be true.
2. a thing that is believed or claimed to be true.
3 law a piece of evidence, an item of verified information, or events and circumstances as distinct from their legal interpretation
4 truth, reality
This may seem a bit odd for most poeple but I need some further clarity on the word ‘FACT’ or ‘FACTS’. I have my own understanding but its not enough so I looked it up again in the dictionary and this is what I found:
FACT: From the Oxford dictionary
—
Something known to be true
—
Did I interpret the word ‘FACT’ correctly:
1. A Subject/Something which is known to be true? (Always true)
OR
2. A Subject/Something which could or maybe known to be true? (Can be true but not always)
Can no.1 also means ‘FACT’ is the same as ‘TRUTH’?
Yes, if you mean ‘something that is known to be true’.
eg Water freezes below zero degrees celsius.
But there is also ‘something that is claimed to be true’.
eg Obama wants to make the US a socialist country.
Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the two categories. How would you classify these statements?
The Earth is round.
The Earth is flat. (This was once considered a fact.)
God exists.
Tom is a liar.
In short, I think you need to comsider some actual examples.
Best wishes, Clive
