Explicit vs Implicit Statements

The video tutorial introduces the concepts of explicit and implicit statements. Explicit statements are clearly stated with no need for inference, while implicit statements require the listener or reader to infer meaning. Examples are provided to illustrate the differences between the two types of statements. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

• It is a type of question

• It is clearly stated with no need for inference

• It is always a question

What does an explicit statement not require?

• A formal tone
