  7. Rules • The middle term must not appear in the conclusion • All As are Bs • All Bs are Cs • Conclusion cannot contain B Middle Term

  8. Rules • When both premises are affirmative, conclusion cannot be negative • All As are Bs • Some Bs are Cs • Then, conclusion should have only All or Some as the quantifier.

  9. Rules • There must be 3 and only 3 distinct terms • When both premises are particular no conclusion can be derived • Some + some not, some + some, etc… • When both premises are negative, no conclusion can be derived • No + no, no + some not, some not + some not

  10. Rules • The middle term must be distributed at least once. • All As are Bs , Some Bs are Cs • All As are Bs, Some As are Cs
