A counterclaim is the opposite of your claim because a counterclaim basically is why the other side right and a claim is the main argument.

An example would be people shouldn't eat peaches because they are bad for your teeth and the counterclaim comes and is people should eat peaches because it has a good health benefit.

answer:  claim is the main argument of any essay or it can be the overall thesis that the writer will argue for. counterclaim is the opposite of a claim. it's when it opposing the main argument of any essay or it disagrees with the thesis.
