Hi MM,
"It's the case that he speaks English more fluently than any of us."
What's the subtle difference between it's true that... and it's the case that... in these examples?
Thanks.

I can't think of a context in which I would use "It's the case that ...".

Mister MicawberToo subtle for me!
Hi MM,
Do you mean there's difference between them? What is it? Would it sound natural to use 'it's the cast that... in my example "It's the case that he speaks English more fluently than any of us."?

Thanks.

A: What's that in the dustbin?
B: It's the new case that I bought yesterday.

Hi MM & fivejedjon,

Thank you very much for your answers. Those help me a lot.
G: "He speaks English more fluently than any of us."
R: "No, that's not true./ No, that's not the case.

Does 'no, that's not the case' here sound natural and can I use it instead of 'no, that's not true' in this example?
What's the difference between them?
