Inference is just a big word that means a conclusion or judgement.
If you infer that something has happened, you do not see, hear, feel, smell, or taste the actual event.
But from what you know, it makes sense to think that it has happened.
You make inferences everyday.
Most of the time you do so without thinking about it.
Suppose you are sitting in your car stopped at a red signal light. You hear screeching tires, then a loud crash and breaking glass. You see nothing, but you infer that there has been a car accident. We all know the sounds of screeching tires and a crash. We know that these sounds almost always mean a car accident. But there could be some other reason, and therefore another explanation, for the sounds. Perhaps it was not an accident involving two moving vehicles. Maybe an angry driver rammed a parked car. Or maybe someone played the sound of a car crash from a recording. Making inferences means choosing the most likely explanation from the facts at hand.
to declare or indicate in advance; especially : foretell on the basis of observation, experience, or scientific reason. Then, Miss Zu makes some activities, She played the video and we must predict what will happen next. It such an interesting activity.
