What is inference
The meaning that the audience makes when considering a text
that contains information that is not overtly present
It often relies on a cultural or social understanding of a particular context
How does consistency contribute to coherence
Consistent formatting, as well as the use of consistent punctuation, capitalisation, font and spacing contribute to coherence of a text by providing visual cues to the reader and creating a unified presentation.
How do conventions contribute to coherence
Adhering to established conventions in writing helps readers to follow the text, understand the intended meaning and engage with the content in a familiar and expected manner
