# Modus Ponens **Definition:** Modus ponens is a valid form of deductive reasoning with the structure: 1. If P, then Q (conditional premise) 2. P (assertion that the antecedent is true) 3. Therefore, Q (conclusion) ## Example 1. If it is raining, then the ground is wet. 2. It is raining. 3. Therefore, the ground is wet. The argument is valid because once we accept that the conditional relationship holds (rain → wet ground) and we confirm the antecedent is true (it is raining), the conclusion (wet ground) must logically follow.
