This is a standard logical formulation of a hypothetical proposition. In this case, the antecedent is P.
  • If X is a man, then X is mortal.
"X is a man" is the antecedent for this proposition.
  • If men have walked on the moon, then I am the king of France.
Here, "men have walked on the moon" is the antecedent.
