--explanation--

True is an adjective that means something is correct, real, or accurate. It is used to agree with a statement or fact. It is different from the truth, which is a noun that refers to the actual facts or reality about something, often used in a broader or more abstract sense. For example:

  • It's true that the server crashed yesterday. – This means the statement about the crash is correct.

  • The truth is that we didn't have a backup. – This means the actual fact is no backup existed.
