What is the difference between imply and infer?
Can you explain the difference between "imply" and "infer" to me?
Sure, I'd be happy to explain that! "Imply" means to suggest something indirectly, while "infer" means to interpret or understand something from evidence or information given. So, for example, if I say "The weather looks bad today," I'm implying that it might rain later. And if you look outside and see that it's cloudy, you might infer that it's likely to rain soon.
