What is an Implicit Sentence?
An implicit sentence is a statement where the meaning is suggested rather than directly stated. You have to read between the lines to understand what the speaker or writer truly means.
Brainly Tip:
When you read an implicit sentence, ask yourself:
- What is the speaker hinting at?
- What can I understand from context?
- Is there an unspoken message?
