Let’s go through each sentence one by one and think about what we can infer — that means, what is probably happening or what the person is likely doing, based on the clues given.
---
1. Jay got the seeds, shovel, and water.
- Seeds are for planting.
- A shovel is used to dig in dirt.
- Water helps plants grow.
→ So, Jay is probably going to plant something — maybe a garden or flowers.
I can infer… Jay is going to plant something.

2. Joe cast his pole and bobber in the lake.
- “Cast” means threw out.
- A fishing pole with a bobber is used for fishing.
- Lakes are where people fish.
→ So, Joe is trying to catch fish.
I can infer… Joe is fishing.
---
3. Sarah built a sandcastle after swimming.
- Sandcastles are made at the beach or near sand.
- Swimming often happens at the beach too.
→ So, Sarah was probably at the beach.
I can infer… Sarah was at the beach.
---
4. Jen got water, lemons, and sugar to mix.
- Lemons + sugar + water = lemonade!
- Mixing them together makes a drink.
→ So, Jen is making lemonade.
I can infer… Jen is making lemonade.
---
5. I blew out the candles and made a wish.
- Blowing out candles usually happens on a birthday cake.
- Making a wish while blowing out candles is a birthday tradition.
→ So, it’s probably someone’s birthday.
I can infer… It is my birthday (or someone’s birthday).

Final Answer:
1. Jay is going to plant something.
2. Joe is fishing.
3. Sarah was at the beach.
4. Jen is making lemonade.
5. It is my birthday (or someone’s birthday).
