Overview
A syllogism gives statements and asks which conclusions definitely follow. Only what must be true counts, not what might be true.
Key concepts
- “All A are B” does not mean “All B are A”.
- “Some A are B” means at least one A is B, and some B are A.
- If two statements share no definite link, no conclusion connecting them follows.
Important points
- Draw simple Venn diagrams. If you can draw a valid picture where the conclusion is false, it does not follow.
Quick revision
All roses are flowers; some flowers fade quickly → nothing definite about roses fading.
