Logic / Unit 3   Logic 088 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Translating into Standard Form

Captions available

The idea

To translate ordinary language: identify quantity and quality, then force the sentence into "All/No/Some S are/are not P" with plural class nouns.

In practice

"Every ticket gets you in" → "All ticket-holders are persons admitted."

Where people slip

Clunky is correct. Standard form trades elegance for testability, on purpose.
