Answer 1

it is a conditional statement because it is the original statement.

Answer 2

It's a conditional statement.

Explanation:

Statements can be classified as conjunctions, disjunctions, negations, or conditionals depending on what structure do they have.

Conjunctions are two simpler statements connected with an "AND" connector. Example: "Today is Wednesday AND the sky is blue".

Disjunctions are two simpler statements connected with an "OR" connector. Example: "Today is Wednesday OR the sky is blue".

Negations are statements that are being negated. Example: "Today is NOT Wednesday"

Conditionals are two simpler statements connected with an IMPLICATION connector. An implication is that connector that expresses that IF something is true THEN something else is true. Example: "IF a polygon has six sides, THEN it is a hexagon".

Some other examples of conditional statements are:

"IF 2+2=5 THEN 1=-1."

"IF there's life on Mars THEN there's life on Jupiter."

"IF Batman exists THEN the sky is blue."

It doesn't matter whether the statements are true or false, it just matters what structure do they have.
