A conditional sentence with a false antecedent is always considered true. This is because a conditional statement is structured in "if-then" form, where the antecedent (the "if" part) determines the truth value of the consequent (the "then" part).

If the antecedent is false, the entire conditional statement is automatically considered true. This is because the truth value of a conditional statement relies on whether the antecedent is true or false, not on the truth value of the consequent.

To understand this concept, you can consider an example:

Conditional statement: If it is raining, then I will bring an umbrella.

In this case, the antecedent is "it is raining," and the consequent is "I will bring an umbrella." If it is not raining (false antecedent), the entire conditional statement is considered true, regardless of whether you actually bring an umbrella or not.

So, to answer the question, a conditional sentence with a false antecedent is always true.
