"From 4 Groups Mixed Translations Flashcards, I've been stuck on two problems and I think it comes from a lack of understanding of how Group 3 and Group 4 work.

Not both /S and O is /S -> /O. I intuitively understand this but I don't understand how the rules make this happen. Same goes for None of the M is /D being M -> D. Shouldn't it be /M -> D?

I couldn't find any replies covering this."

    "Not both" and "none" are both Group 4.

    Let's start with "Not both /S and O".

    The process for Group 4 is:

    Pick either idea. [I'll pick '/S' as the idea]

    Negate that idea. [/S becomes S]

    Make that idea the necessary condition. [ -----> S]

    The other idea is the sufficient condition. [O ---- > S ]

    Thus we get O ---> S with /S ---> /O as the contrapositive.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Now "none". "None of the M is /D"

    Pick either idea. [M]

    Negate that idea. [/M]

    Make that idea the necessary condition. [ -----> /M]

    The other idea is the sufficient condition. [/D ---- > /M ]

    Thus we get /D ---> /M with M ---> D as the contrapositive.

    Hope that helps!
