Define and give examples of the following: sense properties, sentence


types, list of sufficient conditions, and necessary conditions.

sense properties: sense or kinds of meaning in the languages which


contain some agreement in meaning of language in used.
Example:
Analytic: sentence is one that is necessarily TRUE, as a result of the
sense of the words in it. For example, my brother is Male.
Synthetic: sentence is one which is NOT analytic, but may be either true
or false, depending on the way the world is. For example, my brother is
tall.
Contradictory: is a sentence that is necessarily FALSE, as a result of the
senses of the words in it. For example, Cats are fish.
sentence types: Declarative Sentences, Imperative Sentences,
Interrogative Sentence, Exclamatory Sentences.
Declarative Sentences: are sentences that make a statement. They are
used to express facts and thoughts, or to declare something. For
example: I like freedom.
Imperative Sentences: usually end with a full stop, although in some
situations, they can also end with an exclamation mark. For example,
look out!
Interrogative Sentence: This type of statement is in the form of a
question. An interrogative statement must end with a question mark
and an inquiry. For example, What do you want to have for breakfast?
Exclamatory Sentences: a sentence that expresses a strong emotion and
ends “!”. For example, she actually won!

sufficient conditions: on the sense of a predicate is a set of conditions


(or criteria) which, if they are met by a thing, are enough in themselves
to GUARANTEE that the predicate correctly describes that thing. For
example: “Plane figure, four-sided, equal-sided, and containing right
angles” is sufficient condition for the predicate square.
necessary conditions: on the sense of a predicate is a condition (or
criterion) which a thing MUST meet in order to qualify as being
correctly described by that predicate. For example, square is “four
sided” this is a necessary condition for the predicate square.
