Conditional Statements

Me: "How can we turn 'Thanksgiving in the United States falls on the fourth Thursday of November' into an if/then statement."

Student: "If Thanksgiving in the United states falls on the fourth Thursday of November then...."

Me: "That isn't a sentence."

Student: "If Thanksgiving then the United States falls on the fourth Thursday of November."

Me: "The United States doesn't fall on the fourth Thursday of November."

Student: "If it is Thanksgiving in the United States then it is the fourth Thursday of November."
