What is implicit?

Implicit means something is there, but you don’t have to say it out loud, it’s just understood.

Imagine you and your friend are playing hide-and-seek in your backyard. You count to 10, and then you start looking for your friend. Your friend is hiding behind the big tree near the swing set. You see them, but instead of saying “I found you!” right away, you just smile and walk toward them. That’s implicit, you know what’s happening, even though no one said it.

Think about when you play with your toys. If you have a red block and I have a blue block, we both know that if we trade blocks, we’ll each have something different. We don’t need to say “Now we’re trading!”, it just happens, because we both understand the rule of trading.

Sometimes people do things without saying them out loud, and you know what they mean. That’s like having a secret language that only you and your friend understand, but it doesn’t feel magical, it feels normal and fun!Implicit means something is there, but you don’t have to say it out loud, it’s just understood.
