Inferences

What could he be thinking? Is what you said an explanation to the question above? Then you made an inference!

Definition of Inferences: Conclusions based on observations. Inferences try to explain the observations made. Inferences are your opinion on why something happened.

Lets try to make our own inferences about these pictures…
