Explanation:

In literature, it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. However, there are some guidelines that can help us better understand this difference. Factual events are those that we know for sure happened. Most of the time, in order to be sure of this, we base ourselves on research or concrete evidence. On the other hand, if we do not know whether an event happened or not (or if we know for a fact that it did not), but we still use it in a story, then this event is fiction.
