Reasoning!!

Syllogism - Syllogism is when, from two different statements you infer a new statement. Syllogism is apart of deductive reasoning which is when you start with what you are given and you move towards what you can prove.

Example: Poodles are dogs

Bob has has poodle

Therefore Bob has a dog

Modus Ponens & Modus Tollens

Alright, I am a little bit confused about these two, I understand that Modus Tollens has a "not" in it, and both Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens have to do with cause and effect. Other than that, though I am not sure how to go about making my own examples of these. So I guess you can say I get the main concepts for these but I'm not quite sure about all the logistics.
