This week, we're focusing on the word evidence. Understanding this word is key to making strong arguments and understanding the world around us.
What is Evidence?
Evidence is information or an object that helps prove or disprove something. It's the proof that supports a claim, a theory, or a statement. Think of it as the facts you use to show that something is true. For example, a lawyer uses evidence to prove a client's innocence, and a scientist uses evidence from experiments to support a new theory.
Here are some simple examples of how to use the word "evidence" in a sentence:
The detective found new evidence at the crime scene.
She presented strong evidence to support her claim.
The scientist's research provides evidence that the climate is changing.
A broken window was the only evidence of the storm's damage.
I need more evidence to believe your story.
