  1. fact

    A circumstance (Latin circum, around, and sto, stand), is something existing or occurring in connection with or relation to some other fact or event, modifying or throwing light upon the principal matter without affecting its essential character; an accompaniment is something that unites with the principal matter, tho not necessary to it; as, the piano accompaniment to a song; a concomitant goes with a thing in natural connection, but in a subordinate capacity, or perhaps in contrast; as, cheerfulness is a concomitant of virtue. A circumstance is not strictly, nor usually, an occasion, condition, effect, or result. (See these words under CAUSE.) Nor is the circumstance properly an incident. (See under ACCIDENT.) We say, "My decision will depend upon circumstances" — not "upon incidents." That a man wore a blue necktie would not probably be the cause, occasion, condition, or concomitant of his committing murder; but it might be a very important circumstance in identifying him as the murderer. All the circumstances make up the situation. A certain disease is the cause of a man's death; his suffering is an incident; that he is in his own home, that he has good medical attendance, careful nursing, etc., are consolatory circumstances. With the same idea of subordination, we often say, "This is not a circumstance to that." So a person is said to be in easy circumstances. Compare EVENT.

    Synonyms:
    accompaniment, circumstance, concomitant, detail, event, feature, incident, item, occurrence, particular, point, position, situation

    Preposition:
    "Mere situation is expressed by 'in the circumstances'; action affected is performed 'under the circumstances.'" [Murray's "New English Dictionary"]

How to use fact in a sentence?

  1. David Madden:

    It's really all about Greece, the fact that Germany voiced their objections on the Greek application to extend their loans wasn't entirely shocking, and this back-and-forth will continue right up until the deadline.

  2. President Bush:

    I think the fact that the three of us are standing here talking about a peaceful transfer of power speaks to the institutional integrity of our country, america's a generous country, people of great hearts. All three of us were lucky to be the president of this country.

  3. John Krasinski:

    I think this set of circumstances and the fact that people are living through exactly what this family lived through, it's kind of a world you can explore and re-explore and re-explore.

  4. Gabriel Dollé:

    Mr Diack had asked me to consider the fact that the IAAF was in a perilous financial state and needed sponsors, there was never any question of allowing the Russian athletes to participate in international competitions.

  5. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

    It is not just because they dislike me as a person. In fact, I have had many a Republican come to me on the House floor and say' I tell folks back home that while I don't agree with you, I think you are a quite kind person.' I have had Republicans come up to me after the 6th, one of them even weeping and with guilt over what happened, so for some... publicly, this is a performance. But it is also personal because I can not separate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from my gender, I can not separate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of how I was born so their hatred of non-white people, their hatred of women is a hatred of me.
