A modus ponens argument has the same structure as a syllogism, with two premises and a conclusion:
If P, then Q.
P occurs.
Consequently, Q occurs.
The ModusPonens rule of inference or rule of logic requires a single premise and its logical consequences. A conditional statement states that if event 1 occurs, event 2 will also occur and that event 2 will be inferred as the outcome if event 1 occurs. For instance, if A implies B and A is assumed to be true, then it follows that B must also be true according to the ModusPonensrule.
