So taking the following example.

Every statement in logic is either true or false.
These sound hard but are actually quite easy once you memorize what they are.
Different types of statements are used in mathematics to convey certain theorems corollaries or prove some ideas.
Before we define the converse contrapositive and inverse of a conditional statement we need to examine the topic of negation.
If a then b or a b the converse would be.
As in the example a proposition may be true but have a false converse.
We would need to find a single example of one of these conditions any one of which would be a counterexample.
For example the converse of if it is raining then the grass is wet is if the grass is wet then it is raining note.
It is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.
