The sufficient condition:
-appears to the left of the arrow when "symbolized" -is often indicated by the words "if" and "when" -is enough to cause the necessary condition to follow, but it's not necessarily required for the necessary condition to occur -serves as the evidence
The necessary condition: -appears to the right of the arrow when "symbolized"
-is often indicated by the words "then" and "must" -often appears after a comma -is required by the sufficient condition -serves as the conclusion
Why this is important:
Breaking down which parts of the argument are sufficient and necessary allows you to determine the evidence and conclusion. This helps you figure out potential flaws and opportunities to strengthen/weaken the argument.
