true positive is an outcome where the model correctly predicts the positive class -> The model predicts "yes" and the truth is "yes"
.
true negative is an outcome where the model correctly predicts the negative class -> The model predicts "no" and the truth is "no"

false positive is an outcome where the model incorrectly predicts the positive class -> The model predicts "yes" and the truth is "no"

false negative is an outcome where the model incorrectly predicts the negative class.
-> The model predicts "no" and the truth is "yes"

Does this clarify the matter for you?
