       (Original) conditional:  if  p then q
      converse of conditional:  if  q then p   [swap order]
       inverse of conditional:  if ~p then ~q  [keep order, negate both]
contrapositive of conditional:  if ~q then ~p  [swap order, negate both]

" If it is not raining then I will walk to the park.

R = it is raining
W = I will walk to the park

       (Original) conditional:  if  ~R then W
      converse of conditional:  if   W then ~R   [swap order, do not negate] 
       inverse of conditional:  if   R then ~W    [keep order, negate both]
contrapositive of conditional:  if  ~W then  R    [keep order, negate both]

-----------------
A. write the inverse

[keep order, negate both]

if R then ~W: " If it is raining, then I will not walk to the park."
B. Write the converse
[swap order, do not negate]

if   W then ~R: " If I (end up) walk(ing) to the park, then it (must) not (have
been) raining.

Sometimes you have to insert and/or omit a word or two to make the grammar
correct.  It would sound funny to say "If I walk to the park, then it is not
raining."  People just don't talk that way.  But upon careful analysis, it does
mean " If I do end up walking to the park, then it must not have been raining."


Or you might word it " " If I do end up walking to the park, then you will be
sure that it is not raining."
