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.

«38.» The accusative of the gerund or gerundive with «ad», or the genitive with «causā», is used to express purpose. §407.

Moods and Tenses of Verbs

«39.» Primary tenses are followed by primary tenses, and secondary by secondary. §358.

«40.» The subjunctive is used in a dependent clause to express the purpose of the action in the principal clause. §349.

«41.» 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.

«42.» Verbs of fearing are followed by a substantive clause of purpose introduced by «ut» (that not) or «nē» (that or lest). §372.

«43.» Consecutive clauses of result are introduced by «ut» or «ut nōn», and have the verb in the subjunctive. §385.

«44.» Object clauses of result with «ut» or «ut nōn» are found after verbs of effecting or bringing about. §386.

«45.» A relative clause with the subjunctive is often used to describe an antecedent. This is called the subjunctive of characteristic or description. §390.

«46.» The conjunction «cum» 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.

«47.» When a direct statement becomes indirect, the principal verb is changed to the infinitive, and its subject nominative becomes subject accusative of the infinitive. §416.

«48.» The accusative-with-infinitive construction in indirect statements is found after verbs of saying, telling, knowing, thinking, and perceiving. §419.

«49.» 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.

«50.» In an indirect question the verb is in the subjunctive and its tense is determined by the law for tense sequence. §432.
