Sometimes, in shorthand, you will see the abbreviations "p" and "q" for "premise" and "conclusion," respectively. Once we understand the structure of an original conditional statement in terms of p and q, we can understand three other statements related to it. 3: The converse statement The converse of the original conditional statement simply reverses the premise and the conclusion.
