This paper aims at revealing the features of inferred usage of “to-omou”, and the differences between inferred usage and memory regeneration one. First, in the inferred usage we can find the syntagmatical relation between a sentence of premise and an inferred sentence. However, in the memory regeneration usage, we cannot find the syntagmatical relation anymore. Secondary, adverbs such as “tabun” and “kitto” are used in the inferred usage, but “tashika” is found in the memory regeneration usage more often. Thirdly, only past tense can be used in the memory regeneration usage, but all of the tense is used in the inferred one. However, the memory regeneration usage is closing to inferred one, when there is a syntagmatical relation, and is co-occurred with “tabun“ and present tense. So, sometimes it is not clear to distinguish the usage of the sentence from another one.
