Imply and Infer (2)

When we imply something, we’re hinting at what we mean but not saying it directly:

He didn't make any promises, but he did imply that he’d be back for the holidays.
Are you implying that I'm cheating?

When you come to a conclusion based on the available evidence, you are inferring:

We inferred that he’d be back before the holidays because he didn't leave with enough luggage for a long trip.
From the way he quickly closed his laptop, I inferred that he was trying to hide something.
