Translating it into If-Then form might be a good stepping stone.
Answer
Cat → cute (it is a cat → it is cute)
Example 2
"iPods are mp3 players" into p → q form.

Example 3
What is the converse of the statement "I cry whenever I watch P.S. I Love You"?
Hint
The converse is switching the hypothesis and the conclusion. And let's see you watch P.S. I Love You without tearing up.
Answer
I watch P.S. I Love You whenever I cry. (Alternatively: If I cry, then I watch P.S. I Love You.)
Example 4
What is the inverse of the statement, "If it is a high school, then it is a learning institution"?
Hint
Inverses negate everything. No, they don't. Yes, they do.
Answer
If it is not a high school, then it is not a learning institution.
Example 5
What is the contrapositive of the statement "All statements have contrapositives"?
Hint
Don't let the statement itself confuse you.
Answer
If it does not have a contrapositive, then it is not a statement.
Example 6
"Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches contain jelly." Is the converse of the statement true or false? Is the inverse of the statement true or false? Is the contrapositive true or false?
Hint
The contrapositive is the inverse of the converse. Makes sense, right?
Answer
The converse ("If it contains jelly, then it is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich") is not always true. The inverse ("If it is not a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then it does not contain jelly") is also untrue. The contrapositive ("If it does not contain jelly, then it is not a peanut butter and jelly sandwich") is true.
