Hi everyone. I'm having trouble following the rules to translate a sentence with a group 3 indicator. The lesson states that it doesn't matter which term you put as the sufficient condition at first, as the result will be the same - you negate one of the terms, and then create the counter-positive. I keep seeing 4 possible outcomes. Here's what I mean.
If you have the sentence: There is no reward without hard work.
"no reward" is /R; "hard work" is HW
Let's say we choose /R as the sufficient condition:
/R --> HW
To negate, you could either do:
/R --> /HW OR R --> HW (negate the "no reward")
That gives us the counter positives: HW --> R and /HW --> /R (If there is hard work, then there is a reward. If there is no hard work, then there is no reward)
Lets say you choose HW as the sufficient condition:
HW --> /R
To negate, you could either do:
/HW --> /R OR HW --> R
That gives counter positives: R --> HW and /R -- /HW (If there is a reward, then there is hard work. If there is no reward, there is no hard work)
Any suggestions for someone struggling with the required intuition to crack this?
