Truth properties and truth relations

Quiz 1 Truth properties and truth relations

  Based in the theory of truth properties and true relations, explain the relation between this two statement.
1.      If John killed the bear, the bear died”
-The bear died.

2.      John killed the bear and the bear still alive
- John Killed the bear.
These sentences have a relation because in the first one said that might happen if john killed the bear, that it died, so it is true and the sentence has a correct syntax and semantic. But the second one maybe is false because if john killed the bear it is not possible it still alive, maybe he tries to kill it, for that this sentence does not have semantic and syntactic relation.
2   What do these statements entail?
-          The car is red: the car has a color.
-          The needle is too short. The person has a needle.

Which of these two sentences are true and which are false, and explain why?
-          All people that are sick are people. It is true, so all people could be sick.

-      Every person is sick, but some person is not. It is false, there is a contradiction, because first said that everybody is sick and then that someone no.
