This is my first attempt at making Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens organized in one place, easy to remember, and review.

Modus ponendo ponens

Modus ponendo ponens "the way that affirms by affirming" (Latin) is a simple rule of inference used in deductive reasoning and it goes this way:

If P then Q

P

Therefore Q.

The statement has two premises; premise A (If P) and premise B (then Q). For it to be a valid argument both premises must be true. If P is true then Q must be true were it a sound argument. 

This is basically a complicated way of stating a true cause and effect series. 

Ask. There is a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
