Inverse of a Conditional

Inverse of a Conditional

Negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. For example, the inverse of "If it is raining then the grass is wet" is "If it is not raining then the grass is not wet".

Note: As in the example, a proposition may be true but its inverse may be false.
