In the section on general claims and their contradictories, I found that the outline given in the book helped me to come up with contradictories more easily. The outline is simple and easy to use because all you need is your claim and then two possible contradictories. Depending on what your claim is, you can have up to two contradictories for it.
For example, Dick can run fast. The contradictory to Dick can run fast is that Dick can sometimes run fast or Dick is not very fast. Another example is sometimes Dick can run fast, the contradictory for sometimes Dick can run fast is Dick cannot run fast. Sometimes people get their contradictories mixed up, which is why the outline is the book is given. The outline is only a “rough guide” but it can at least get you started on your way to a good claim and its contradictory.
