Imagine you're trying to guess what your friend will eat for lunch. You might think about what they usually like or if they’re in a hurry. That's kind of how people try to know the future, by looking at clues from the past and present. But even with all those clues, it's not always right!
Examples
- A child guesses it will snow tomorrow because it rained today.
- A baker makes more cookies if she sees many people buying them.
- You bring an umbrella because you think it might rain.
