Translation Rule Group 3 & 4-Negation

Hi All! Quick question? Regarding Lawgic and translation rules for group 3 and 4. I understand I need to pick either idea, then negate that idea etc. I am getting stuck at times if the idea I choose is already negated. Do I always remove the negation from the idea? I'm getting stuck in the rule of negating. Thanks for the help!

    x cannot unless y

    Translated

    x --> y

    Don't think too much. Just write down both ideas in their "stock form".

    In the above case I would write down we have X slashed unless Y

    Unless= group 3 = negate sufficient

    Remove the slash

    However you choose to translate the conditional, write down the "stock" ideas, as I call them, which is just how the stimulus gives it to you, and remember to negate the idea that you won't be translating the conditional according to.

    In the above case, I want to translate according to the unless idea, because I'm more familiar with group 3, so I just slash the "cannot idea" idea and apply the g3 translation between the 2 groups.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Cheers

    Would you mind translating the last part of what you said please? This is what I'm struggling with. So, you are saying I do negate the idea that I won't be translating the conditional to. Thank you so much....I am almost there:). @Darien022 -I posted to myself, but this was meant for you-ha!
