Could you please *use* “matter-a-factly” and “as a matter of fact” in a sentence?

Question by Synƒiah Furaɧa ☾: Could you please *use* “matter-a-factly” and “as a matter of fact” in a sentence?
(i made a mistake in the previous question) I don’t really understand what this means so i’d like to see them in a sentence. A definition would also be nice.

It’s not “matter-a-factly”; it’s “matter-of-factly”.

“As a matter of fact” basically means “actually”. I find it to sound sort of as if that person is telling someone else off. Sort of like saying, “of course”.

“But Tessa, you don’t like green beans!”
“I do, too! I decided I liked them after I tried them at a restaurant,” Tessa stated matter-of-factly.

“But Tessa, you don’t like green beans!”
“As a matter of fact, I do. I decided I liked them after I tried them at a restaurant,” Tessa said.
