Task 6

1. Write down one formula with a quantifier.

2. For each individual in your universe, indicate whether the restrictor and the scope are true for that individual.

3. Given your results from (b), is the formula true in your model?

4. In which way would your model have to be different to make the formula false (or, in case the formula is false: to make it true in your model)?

1. Formula with a quantifier

Corresponding English sentence: Mr Rochester is every women's husband.
