We are learning to infer.
Inferring is when you read between the lines of a sentence, that actually hasn't stated what it said in the sentence. So you guess the clues that were said in the literal information, literal information is what is actually said in the sentence so you use those clues to find out what it will mean or what will happen or what did happen.
E.g. We are in a dark and cold bunker, but we are safe from the blast. - If I had to infer what this means I would say the was a nuclear blast outside that's why they are hiding in a bunker.
Another way to infer is to use your prior knowledge that you know and use that to figure out what is happening in the text (story).
