Categorical statements make assertions about interrelations between categories or classes. Universal affirmation makes a positive statement about all members. Particular affirmation tells us about some particular members of the subject. Universal affirmative statements like all dogs are mammals are called a statements. Particular affirmative statements like some plants are carnivores are called i statements. Universal negation makes a negative statement about all members. Particular negation tells us that some particular members are not of the subject. Universal negative statements are called e statements like no women are fathers . Particular negative statements are called o statements like some men are not uncles . Sometimes we need to translate a sentence to determine whether it is an a, i, e or o. We have to determine and state explicitly whether we"re talking about all or some members of the class named by the subject term and of the class named by the predicate term.
