Making an inference means using clues from the text and your own knowledge to figure out something the author doesn’t state directly.
Making inferences allows you to understand stories and articles more deeply and answer tricky questions.
We make inferences all the time—like when you see dark clouds and “infer” it might rain soon!
A story says the boy grabbed an umbrella and put on boots. You infer it’s raining outside.
The article mentions students yawning and drinking coffee. You infer they are tired.
