的确 vs. 确实

的确 vs. 确实
díquè vs. quèshí

的确 and 确实 both mean “absolutely true.” But 的确 is an adverb and can only be an adverbial. 确实 can be used as quite a few sentence elements. Both words can be reduplicated. As an adverbial, they are interchangeable.
(1) 我当时的确确实)在场。
(2) 他确确实实的的确确)已经结婚了。

When 确实 functions as other sentence elements, 的确cannot replace it .
(3) 这条新闻不确实
(4) 请告诉我你的确实位置。

“的确”和“确实”都可表示完全属实。但“的确”是副词,只能做状语。“确实”可以做多种句子成分。两个词均可以重叠。做状语时,一般可换用。
“确实”做其他成分时,不能和“的确”互换。
