In a natural deduction system (if that is what you are using) to prove a conditional, such as is P → Q, you must use a Conditional
Proof.



This takes the form of assuming the antecedent (that is P) aiming to derive the consequent (that is Q) through valid inferences (also using the premises; that is ¬P ∨ Q). Then discharging the assumption allow the deduction of the conditional (that is P → Q).



Now to prove Q from an assumption of P and the premise of ¬P ∨ Q, either use Disjunctive Syllogism, or a Proof by Cases.
