‘Gather’ means to collect some items together. You may gather your books to return to the library, or you may gather your thoughts by making a list.
“I gather you have not done your work.”
In this case, the person speaking has gathered all the evidence and come to the conclusion that the work was not done. We can use the word ‘gather’ here because the evidence was collected or gathered.
You could also say:
“I think you have not done your work.”
In this case, the person speaking has thought about the situation and concluded that the work wasn’t done.
I hope this answers your question.
