the longer the pendulum is, the longer it takes to swing. therefore, when the pendulum of a clock is lengthened, the clock slows down.

The conclusion follows necessarily from the premise. (The lengthening of the pendulum of a clock makes the mechanism that moves the hands of the clock slow down)

Argument, premises and conclusion

The statements that make up an argument are divided into one or more premises and exactly one conclusion. The premises are the statements that set forth the reasons or evidence, and the conclusion is the statement that the evidence is claimed to support or imply. That is, the conclusion is the statement that is claimed to follow from the premise.

Inductive and deductive argument

A deductive argument is an argument incorporating the claim that it is impossible for the conclusion to be false given that the premises are true.An inductive argument is an argument incorporating the claim that it is improbable that the conclusion be false given that the premises are true.To decide whether an argument is inductive or deductive look for

1. the occurrence of special indicator words

2. the actual strength of the inferential link between premises and conclusion, and

3. the form or style of argumentation.
