+A type predicate function must return a boolean expression:
+
+```lua
+local function isPet(x: unknown): x :: Pet
+    return 5 -- TypeError: Type 'number' could not be converted into 'boolean'
+end
+```
+
+If the variable specified is not a parameter to the function, we will emit a type error:

 ## Drawbacks
 
 One problem with user-defined type predicates, is that they do not completely solve the unsoundness issue, if the user
