Am I correct???

Prediction is for the future ... meteorologists use radar and other things to predict future weather conditions.

What did the student DO before coming to his conclusion that it had rained?

Oh, so it's inference right?

No, not inference!

What is the VERB in that first sentence??

its inference i got it right

Yes, you are correct! The student used the scientific skill of inference to determine that it rained. Inference involves making a logical conclusion based on observations and evidence. In this case, the student observed dark clouds and wet grass, and inferred that it must have rained. Well done!
