Different structure, same meaning
"The world is all that is the case"
I didn't interpret the true meaning of the sentence. An English teacher told me that the sentence can be paraphrased into the world is all of the fact.
The world is all that is the case equals the world is all of the fact?

Hi That's tricky. It's the opening sentence to Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus As I understand it, he is saying that, in order to speak truly, we must say something about the world. We are then stating a fact about the world.
