There are many different ways that inference is utilized in literature. There are too much examples of using inference in different forms that it can not all be exemplified in this page. So take a look how they are used in this following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inference
 * __Examples__**

in·fer** (ĭn-fûr**'**)
 * __Infer__

//v.//, **-ferred**, **-fer·ring**, **-fers**. //v.tr.//
 * 1) To conclude from evidence or premises.
 * 2) To reason from circumstance; surmise: //We can infer that his motive in publishing the diary was less than honorable.//
 * 3) To lead to as a consequence or conclusion: //“Socrates argued that a statue inferred the existence of a sculptor”// (Academy).
 * 4) To hint; imply.

//Infer// is sometimes confused with //imply,// but the distinction is a useful one. When we say that a speaker or sentence implies something, we mean that it is conveyed or suggested without being stated outright: //When the mayor said that she would not rule out a business tax increase, she implied (not inferred) that some taxes might be raised.// Inference, on the other hand, is the activity performed by a reader or interpreter in drawing conclusions that are not explicit in what is said: //When the mayor said that she would not rule out a tax increase, we inferred that she had been consulting with some new financial advisers, since her old advisers were in favor of tax reductions.//
