I understand the basic of transitive property
If A - ->B
If B - ->C
Therefore A - ->C
But in real questions I sometimes get confused of when you can use the transitive property. Idk if this makes any sense but is it safe to say that when trying to form one, a necessary condition will link to a sufficient, but you can't link up a necessary to a necessary
Does this question even make enough sense to be a question lol thanks for trying anyways

You shouldn't think of it as a necessary condition linking to a sufficient condition because a necessary condition never gives us any other information. Instead it is just that the necessary condition matches with the sufficient condition so that they can link together.
You can never connect a necessary condition and another necessary condition because you cannot connect a necessary condition within anything. Again, you can only connect A ==> B to B ==> C because "B" links to itself.
Hope that clears things up! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
