Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide if it’s a
fact or an
opinion.
Remember the hint:
- A
fact can be proven (you can check it with science, books, or observation).
- An
opinion cannot be proven — it’s about what someone thinks or feels.

1.
Snakes are reptiles.
→ This is true. Scientists classify snakes as reptiles. You can look this up in a biology book.
✔ Fact
2.
Dogs are mammals.
→ Yes! Dogs have fur, give birth to live young, and nurse their babies — all signs of mammals.
✔ Fact
3.
Sunflowers are beautiful.
→ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people love sunflowers, others don’t care. You can’t prove “beautiful” — it’s personal.
✔ Opinion
4.
Cats make the best pets.
→ “Best” is subjective. Some people prefer dogs, birds, or fish. There’s no proof that cats are #1 for everyone.
✔ Opinion
5.
The sun is a star.
→ Yes! The sun is a big ball of gas that gives off light and heat — exactly what stars do. Astronomers confirm this.
✔ Fact
6.
Plants need sun and water.
→ True. Plants use sunlight to make food (photosynthesis) and water to stay alive. Science proves this.
✔ Fact
7.
The dress is pretty.
→ Again, “pretty” is how someone feels. One person might think it’s ugly. Can’t be proven.
✔ Opinion
8.
Yellow is my favorite color.
→ This is about *your* preference. No one can prove your favorite color — it’s yours alone.
✔ Opinion
9.
Apples are delicious.
→ Delicious means tasty — but not everyone likes apples! Some think they’re boring or sour. Taste is personal.
✔ Opinion
10.
Corn is a vegetable.
→ Hmm… technically, corn is a grain (it’s a seed), but in cooking, we often call it a vegetable because we eat it like one. In school worksheets like this, they usually mean “in everyday language, corn is called a vegetable.” So for this level, it’s treated as a fact.
✔ Fact
*(Note: Botanically, corn is a fruit/seed, but in common usage and elementary education, it’s grouped with vegetables. Since this worksheet is for kids, we’ll go with “fact” as expected.)*
