«كلما كان الشيء إنسانا فهو حيوان»
Whenever something is human, it is an animal.
The antecedent is “the thing is human” and the consequent is “it is an animal.” Each is categorical in form. The word “whenever” joins them within a universal connected conditional.
Do not mistake the isolated nouns “human” and “animal” for the two components. Each side contains a complete propositional content, and the two are linked by the outer conditional.
