Do you understand what truth values make a conditional statement become true?

I am just really confused and need some help! @sinusoidal

If it is true that the season is summer, than the conditional statement is true.  This come from the definition of a conditional statement.  A conditional statement is ALWAYS true when it's conclusion is true.

anonymous · Answer

whether a dog is an amphibian has no relevance to the truth value of the conditional statement, so long as the conclusion--it is summer--is true.

Let P be a dog is an amphibian and Q be it is summer.
if Q is True:  P -> Q will be true.  if Q is False, P -> Q will be False.
