Ways to tell them apart:
Always remember that in fact is two separate words, not one single word.
In fact is a phrase used to add emphasis or clarify a previous statement, while infact is often a typographical error.
Think of fact needing its own little space to stand as a distinct truth within your sentences.
Breaking in and fact apart helps emphasize the certainty that fact provides.
Whenever youre tempted to mash them together, remind yourself that space reinforces the validity of fact'.
