    Conditional indicators are something that indicate formal logic (or conditional reasoning) is being used. Basically your If -> then statements. Sufficient indicators include but are not limited to: Any, If, When(ever), Every, Each. Necessary indicators include but are not limited to: Then, Necessary, Required, Only, Only if, Depends, Essential, Needs, etc.

    The lesson to practice these are found under "Introduction to Logic" - the most helpful is this one! https://7sage.com/lesson/conditional-indicators-drill-flashcards/

    Example: If it is Monday, then I have work.
    M(Monday) W(Work)
    The phrase after "if" falls on the sufficient side of the arrow
    M->W
    You are confirming it is Monday, so then you can validly conclude you have work.
