How is “None of the Americans attended the dictator's party” a conditional statement? Isn’t it just a fact and there is no relation between American and Party.
I understand that if you translate to “If one is an American, then one did not attend the party” it is a conditional statement as there is a sufficient and necessary condition, but that’s only because you translated it to have a relationship.
Then for the fact “the sky is blue”, can’t I translate it to “if there is a sky, then it is blue” and now that is a conditional statement as well.

On the actual test, will we have time to actually write down the lawgics and arrows, or do we just have to mentally think about them?

If it’s a negation, we put a “not” in front of the word
So “all dogs are friendly” turns into “not all dogs are friendly”
But some = doesn’t have to be, but could be true that it means “all”
So how are we allowed to say that some dogs are not friendly, assuming some could mean all. If this is true, we’re literally saying that’s it’s possible that all dogs could not be friendly
