Maybe the basic ROOM would be better suited for this question.

In short, you bias a PMOS (P channel), with the voltage lower on the Gate than what is on the Source. In other words, Placing the Red probe on the gate and Black Probe on the source of the DMM, you should get a (-) reading which will at some point, turn on the PMOS.

Of course, there are specified levels of forward biasing to meet, before the Pmos will start conducting.

I hope the explanation will simply enough.
