What is an inference? An inference is something you figure out by using evidence/clues to get the answer. I learnt that books or texts aren’t only the things that have inferences, there’s also inference in life. For example, your friends planned a birthday party for you and whenever you asked them about it, they denied it. You knew you were right when they started blowing balloons and wouldn’t let you go into a certain room. Therefore, inferences can be said anywhere and you don’t even realize it.
