An inference is when we use clues and our own background knowledge to figure out what’s really going on. We make inferences all the time: When we are trying to make decisions, when we want to figure out why a friend is acting differently, or to figure out what an author’s message is. Even detectives must make inferences as they try to solve a case! We can make inferences from many different types of texts, such as books, commercials, print ads, movies, songs, etc. |
