Inferring is reading between the lines of a text to understand implicit meanings rather than just explicit statements. To infer successfully, one can work out answers from details or references in the text, analyze word choices, and match the text to their own knowledge or experience. Making inferences allows people to fully respond to pieces of writing by deducing general ideas, specific details, characteristics of characters, and aspects of the author from the information provided but not directly stated.
