Exercise 1
The following material is an adapted form of material created by student participants of the project e-Learning Resources for Semantics (e-LRS).
Involved participants: Lisa, Marthe, Elisabeth, and Isabelle.
This exercise is based on the following scenario:
At the time Alice, Paul, Tom and Lisa live in Berlin, but they rather want to live in Munich. Alice is married to Paul. They are Tom and Lisa's parents. Both Lisa and her father are tall, while Alice and Tom are rather small. Lisa and her mom share the same hair color, which is blonde. The family enjoys watching American football games together. But while the girls also like watching soccer, the boys get bored of it. Walter, the family's dog, doesn't care about sports at all, he likes to eat the familiy members´ shoes.
Which of the following expressions of predicate logic are formulae? Give an explanation for your decision. If the expression is not a formula try to change it into one.
(Click on the box if the expressionis a formula. When you press on submit, you will see a suggestion for the second part of the question.)
