Latin for Beginners Part 68

<33.>> The word expressing the person from whom an action starts, when not the subject, is put in the ablative with the preposition > or > The comparative degree, if > is omitted, is followed by the separative ablative. --309.> The _time when or within which_ anything happens is expressed by the ablative without a preposition. --275.> 1. The _place at or in which_ is expressed by the ablative with >. This answers the question Where? Before names of towns, small islands, and > the preposition is omitted. ----265, 266.2. Names of towns and small islands, if singular and of the first or second declension, and the word > express the _place in which_ by the locative. --268._Gerund and Gerundive_ > 1. The gerund is a verbal noun and is used only in the genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative singular. The constructions of these cases are in general the same as those of other nouns. --406.1.2. The gerundive is a verbal adjective and must be used instead of gerund + object, excepting in the genitive and in the ablative without a preposition. Even in these instances the gerundive construction is more usual. --406.2.> The accusative of the gerund or gerundive with >, is used to express purpose. --407._Moods and Tenses of Verbs_ > Primary tenses are followed by primary tenses, and secondary by secondary. --358.> The subjunctive is used in a dependent clause to express the _purpose_ of the action in the princ.i.p.al clause. --349.> _A substantive clause of purpose_ with the subjunctive is used as object with verbs of _commanding, urging, asking, persuading_, or _advising_, where in English we should usually have the infinitive.--366.> Verbs of _fearing_ are followed by a substantive clause of purpose introduced by > (_that not_) or > (_that_ or _lest_).--372.> _Consecutive clauses of result_ are introduced by > or >, and have the verb in the subjunctive. --385.> _Object clauses of result_ with > or > are found after verbs of effecting or bringing about. --386.> A relative clause with the subjunctive is often used to describe an antecedent. This is called the _subjunctive of characteristic or description_. --390.> The conjunction > means _when, since_, or _although_. It is followed by the subjunctive unless it means _when_ and its clause fixes the time at which the main action took place. --396.> When a direct statement becomes indirect, the princ.i.p.al verb is changed to the infinitive, and its subject nominative becomes subject accusative of the infinitive. --416.> The accusative-with-infinitive construction in indirect statements is found after verbs of _saying, telling, knowing, thinking_, and _perceiving_. --419.> A present indicative of a direct statement becomes present infinitive of the indirect, a past indicative becomes perfect infinitive, and a future indicative becomes future infinitive. --418.> In an _indirect question_ the verb is in the subjunctive and its tense is determined by the law for tense sequence. --432.[Ill.u.s.tration: DOMINA]APPENDIX III REVIEWS[1][Footnote 1: It is suggested that each of these reviews be a.s.signed for a written test.][Transcriber's Note: In this Review section, the lists of English words for translation may not be in the same order as in the original.]I.
