Modus Ponen

Modus ponens are centered around one formula:
If p then q
p
Therefore q

For example,
If Emily is buff, she will get onto the football team.
Emily is buff.
Therefore, she will get onto the football team.

In this example, "If Emily is buff" is p, and "will get onto the football team" is q. Therefore, if we are following the formula, we will restate p in the next line ("Emily is buff"), and then state "Therefore q" in the last line ("Therefore, she will get onto the football team.").
