*Given two formulas ''X'' and ''Y'', and a [[binary connective]] ''b'' (such as the [[logical conjunction]] ∧),the expression ''(X b Y)'' is a formula. (Note the parentheses.)
 
Through this construction, all of the formulas of propositional logic can be built up from propositional variables as a basic unit. Propositional variables should not be confused with the [[metavariable]]s, which appear in the [[Propositional_logic#Example_1._Simple_axiom_system|typical axioms of propositional calculus]]; the latter effectively range over well-formed formulae, and are often denoted using lower-case greek letersletters such as <math>\alpha</math>, <math>\beta</math> and <math>\gamma</math>.<ref name=":0" />
