	~~== Task 5: Quantifiers ==~~

	~~Provide logical formulae that expresse the meaning of the following sentences. Are the formulae true in~~
	~~your model (not in the entire play)? Give a short reason (you don’t need to compute the truth value).~~

	~~1. Banquo was killed by a king.~~

	~~<div class="mw-collapsible-content">~~
	~~∃''x'' ('''king'''(''x'') : '''kill'''(''x'', '''banquo'''))~~

	~~The formula is true in my model, because there is only one king, Macbeth, and Macbeth killed Banquo.<br>(Note: The English sentence is in passive, but this has no effect on the logical form.)~~
	~~</div></div>~~

	~~2. Macbeth mistrusts every witch.~~

	~~<div class="mw-collapsible-content">~~
	~~∀''x'' ('''witch'''(''x'') : '''mistrust'''('''macbeth''', ''x''))~~

	~~The formula is true in my model, because there are no witches in my model. Therefore, the formula with the universal quantifier is trivially true.~~

	Reading 1: ''every'' takes scope over ''a''. Paraphrase: ''For every king there is at least one thane such that the king trusts that thane.''<br />Reading 2: ''a'' takes scope over ''every''. Paraphrase: ''There is one particular thane such that each king trusts this thane.''

	Reading 1: collective reading. Paraphrase: ''Macbeth and Macduff are married to each other''<br />Reading 2: distributive reading. Paraphrase: ''Macbeth and Macduff are both married, but not to each other.''
