I dont see how its possible to explain why these logical connectives is adequate

"Explain why {$\wedge$, $\perp$} is adequate". I translate this to:

Show how to construct {$\vee$, $\implies$, $\neg$} using only {$\wedge$, $\perp$}.

I know that I can show this by comparing truth tables for each. But I dont see how I can get $T$ from other than $p \wedge q$ when $p = T$ and $q = T$.

But since $\perp$ is "defiend" as $F$ (right?) then how can i get $T$ by using only $\wedge$?

Since $F \wedge (T \vee F)$ is always $F$ (false and whatever else is always false)
