Question

is the difference between the conditional and the bi conditional is that with the conditional it is an IF/THEN situation and the bi conditional is the IF and ONLY IF/THEN situataion.

An example of the conditional is: If you cook dinner tonight then I will do the dishes. This is something that my fiance and I agree to most of the time. So if he cooks and I don't do the dishes then the argument isn't fulfilled.

Answer 1

Yes there is a difference between the conditional and bi conditional statements. The conditional statements are the one where the IF / THEN situation is prevailing. For example as seen in the example, if your wife would cook, then you would be doing dishes. This is a conditional statement of If and Then.

On the other hand, the bi- conditional statement are the ones in which If and Only If a situation would happen, only then the another situation could happen. For example, you would be able to catch the train if and only if you would be able to reach the station on time.
