Premise and Conclusion Indicators
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Indicator words mark an argument's structure: "therefore," "so," and "thus" signal conclusions; "because," "since," and "for" signal premises.
Show
"The ferry stopped running, so we are staying the night." One premise, one marked conclusion.
Watch for
Indicators are clues, not guarantees—"since" can mark time rather than reasons, and some arguments carry no indicators at all.
