contrapositives

so I understand that Quantifiers do not have contrapositives but is that EVERY SINGLE TIME if the quantifier is in the premise does it get one? OR if the quantifier is in the conclusion does it get one?

Hi @mkonovodoff,

Thanks for the question! You were right initially—quantifiers never have contrapositives, regardless of whether they’re in the premise or conclusion. You won’t ever need to take the contrapositive of one on the LSAT, so don’t worry about it! You should keep in mind, though, that some As are B also means that some Bs are As. But that’s not a contrapositive, which only apply to conditional statements. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
