Look at this simple example to get a better understanding of inferences. Tony likes Japanese food. Tony wants to learn how to speak Japanese. Tony thinks Japanese people are very friendly. It can be inferred from this information that Tony wants to go to Japan. Although it does not directly state this, it is a clear conclusion. |
