Every time I’ve been out in the rain in the desert, I see a desert frog. Today, I’m out in the rain in the desert. Therefore, I will probably see a desert frog. Rewrite the argument above so that it is deductive. Explain what makes it deductive.

Since every time I've been out in the rain in the desert I've seen a desert frog, today when I'm out in the rain in the desert I'll see a desert frog.
This is deductive because it relies on inference. Since this, this will probably happen. The argument given already uses deductive reasoning, so this question probably just wants you to be creative and find another way to inference this hypothetical reasoning and to know what the term deductive means. The word deductive means: characterized by or based on the inference of particular instances from a general law. :)
