| CONJUCTION | DISJUNCTION | CONDITIONAL |
| P q p ^ q | P q p v q | P q p  |
| T T T | T T T | T T T |
| T F F | T F T | T F F |
| F T F | F T T | F T T |
| F F F | F F F | F F T |
| P ^ Q is true when both p and q are true | P v q is false when both p and q are false | P |
| BICONDITIONAL | NEGATION |
| P q p ⇔ q | P P |
| T T T | T F |
| F T F | F T |
| F F T | ~ |
| P ⇔ q is true when both p and q are either both true and both false. |
