What is the standard form of an argument?

The standard form of an argument is a way of presenting the argument which makes clear which propositions are premises, how many premises there are and which proposition is the conclusion. In standard form, the conclusion of the argument is listed last.

In standard form, an argument is presented like this:

(begin{array}{ll} text{P1} & text{Premise 1} text{P2} & text{Premise 2} text{P3} & text{And so on for as many premises as there are in the argument.} &text{Therefore,} text{C} & text{Conclusion} end{array})

(begin{array}{ll} text{P1} & text{​I’m on leave this week.} text{P2} & text{I never answer work emails when I’m on leave.} &text{Therefore,} text{C} & text{I’m not answering work emails this week.} end{array})
