Positive vs. Sure
Hi, everyone!

Please, help me to understand the difference between two sentences:

1. I am sure that they are my aunts
2. I am positive that they are my aunts

I believe that 'be sure' and 'be positive' are nearly synonyms here and I can use them both. Am I right?

Answer

Yes. These are the same statement, and can be used interchangeably in this context.

Answer

Yes you can use both. To say you are positive would be used when asked IF you are sure about something haha but you can say both whenever.
