What do we call the clause that follows "then" in a conditional statement?

In a conditional statement, the clause that follows "then" is referred to as the consequent. This section expresses the outcome or result that follows from the condition stated in the preceding part of the statement, which typically follows "if." For example, in the conditional statement "If it rains, then the ground will get wet," the clause "the ground will get wet" is the consequent.

The other terms have different meanings in the context of conditional statements: the premise often relates to the initial assumption or statement that supports an argument, the antecedent is the clause that comes before "then" and presents the condition, and the condition itself is a broader term that incorporates both the antecedent and the consequent within the context of a conditional statement. Understanding these terms helps clarify the structure and function of logical implications in arguments.
