∙ 6y agoSome true statements about statements include:
- A statement makes a claim, unlike a question.
- A legitimate question can be (legitimately) true or false in what it claims or asserts.
- Further, a writer can deliberately tell a falsehood in making a statement. It is up to a reader to evaluate statements to determine whether the claim or assertion is correct. For example, "There are no fresh water lakes in the United States" is a completely untrue statement. Lots of untrue statements masquerade as truths.
- Learning to critically evaluate or use critical thinking will help you evaluate statements. Example: A story about a 1900 family suddenly talks about the mother loading the dishwasher before using an electric carving knife to carve a turkey. These did not exist in 1900; watch for bloopers in statements.
- Correctly written statements convey information; they educate others by sharing knowledge. Example: "The normal body temperature is generally given as 98.6F."
- Statements begin with a First-letter cap.
- Statements end with a period.
- Students and adults will deal with more statements in their lifetimes than questions.
