Informal logic is like a mix between math and regular English. It's helpful for figuring out which ideas are more convincing and why. In informal logic, you make statements that have reasons behind them, like in math. But this time, instead of using numbers, you use words and logic to figure out why different ideas make more sense. You use rules like "if this is true, this must be true too" to determine which statements have evidence and which ones don't. It's like detective work – you weigh different ideas and argue for why one is the best choice.
