A topology question Modified:(which I think it is true in general but cannot prove.) Suppose S is a compact Metric space. Given that $S$ is compact and it has no isolated point. Show that given any nonempty open set $P$ of $S$ and any point $x\in S$, there exists a nonempty open set $V\subset P $ such that $x\notin \bar V $. I am not very sure what I have to do to finish it. My thought is that it for $x\in S$, it is not an isolated point so there exist an $y\in S$ but then not sure how to proceed, and not sure how to know the existence of $V$
