correspondence theory of truth

The correspondence theory of truth states that something (for example, a proposition or statement or sentence) is rendered true by the existence of a fact with corresponding elements and a similar structure. The theory maintains that the truth or falsity of a statement is determined only by how it relates to the world, and whether it accurately describes (i.e., corresponds with) that world. The theory presupposes an objective world and is therefore antagonistic to theories that problematise objectivity such as external world skepticism or metaphysical subjectivism.

A correspondence theory of truth includes the assertion that a sentence (or proposition) is true if and only if that which the sentence expresses corresponds to the 'facts' or to 'reality'.

a philosophical idea that truth consists in the correspondence between language and reality.  The statement, "There is a chair in the corner" is true if there is a real chair in a real corner which corresponds to the statement.  There are problems with the correspondence theory of truth.  For example, what would be necessary for the statement, "Tomorrow he will likely feel better"? to be true? Would he actually have to feel better tomorrow?  What states of affairs would have to exist in order for it to be true that it is likely he would feel better?
