Expressing Facts
When we talk about facts, they can be expressed in any tense that is relevant to the time when the event of the fact happens. Facts are actual, indisputable case. So, when it is a general truth, we can express it using Simple Present Tense; when it happened in the past, we can use Past Tense; and when it happens in the future, we can use Future Tense. For example, from the dialog above, the three friends are talking about
underwater animals, hence a general truth. That’s why we find the sentences in Simple Present Tense such as:
1. The article says that the size can be 10 meters long; it’s as big as a school bus!
2. A giant squid is very unique.
3. The article suggests that a giant squid’s eyes are the size of a dinner plate.
Task 1:
Now, write sentences that express facts.
You can write facts about yourself or about the things that happen in the world.

General facts : Many Orang Utans lose their natural habitat because forests are turned into mining.
Facts about the past: In the past, Orang Utan lived freely because their natural habitats were well preserved.
Facts about the future : Government will attempt to protect Orang Utan’s life by building reservation areas
