Practice makes perfect
Let's write the three given conditional statements and color-code the different hypotheses and conclusions that have been stated.

&then you can watch TV. [0.5em]
&2. If you watch TV,
&then you can watch your favorite show.
&3. If you do your homework,
&then you can watch your favorite show.
