I know a couple

 

2.  A conditional statement  has the form  :

 

     If A   then B

 

So

 

if it s rush hour, then traffic may be heavy       is  the conditional statement

 

 

3. 

 

Original statement    If A, then B

 

Contrapositive   "switch" A and B   and negate both

 

So

 

Original statement :  if you send me an email today, then I will send you an email tommorow.

 

Contrapositive : if i dont send you an email tommorow, then you will not send me an email today

This is not a valid argument

 

An animal may be a marsupial.....but not necessarily be a koala...
