Necessary and Sufficient Condition additional explanation

[madisonzill]

Hello. I need some help understanding necessary and sufficient conditions conceptually. I memorized the indicator words, but I would like to truly understand the relationship. I have re read the definitions in my workbook and I am still confused.
