What are some examples of a conditional statement?

Here are some examples of conditional statements, along with explanations:

Simple Examples:

* If it rains, then the ground will be wet.

* This statement clearly connects two events: rain and wet ground. The "if" part is the hypothesis, and the "then" part is the conclusion.

* If you study hard, you will pass the test.

* This statement implies that studying hard is a condition for passing the test.

* If the sun shines, then the flowers will bloom.

* This statement establishes a cause-and-effect relationship.

More Complex Examples:

* If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even.

* This statement relates mathematical concepts, where the divisibility by 2 is a condition for the number being even.

* If you are 18 years old or older, then you are eligible to vote.

* This statement sets a specific age requirement for a particular right (voting).

* If the computer is on, then it is connected to the internet.

* This statement implies a connection between the state of the computer and its internet connectivity.

Examples in Everyday Language:

* "If you don't finish your homework, then you can't watch TV."

* "If the bus is late, then I will be late for work."

* "If you wear your coat, you won't get cold."

Key Points About Conditional Statements:

* They are structured as "If...then..."

* The "if" part (hypothesis) is a condition.

* The "then" part (conclusion) is the result of the condition being met.

* They can be true or false.

* True: The conclusion follows logically from the hypothesis.

* False: The conclusion does not follow logically from the hypothesis.
