Primary is like someone who was there for example would be a witness to a car crash, secondary would for example, be a news channel going off what they know from the primary source.

A Primary Source Is like a letter signed by George Washington, Like something that experienced the event, But a secondary source is like a textbook explaining the events of World War 2
