m redolent, _the speeches smack of the past_.

Two Accusatives--Direct Object and Predicate Accusative.

177. Many Verbs of _Making_, _Choosing_, _Calling_, _Showing_, and the
like, take two Accusatives, one of the Person or Thing Affected, the other
a Predicate Accusative; as,--

me heredem fecit, _he made me heir_.

Here me is Direct Object, heredem Predicate Accusative. So also--

eum judicem cepere, _they took him as judge_;

urbem Romam vocavit, _he called the city Rome_;

se virum praestitit, _he showed himself a man_.

2. The Predicate Accusative may be an Adjective as well as a Noun; as,--

homines caecos reddit cupiditas, _covetousness renders men blind_;

Apollo Socratem sapientissimum judicavit, _Apollo adjudged Socrates the
wisest man_.

a. Some Verbs, as reddo, usually admit only an Adjective as the Predicate
Accusative.

3. In the Passive the Direct Object becomes the Subject, and the Predicate
Accusative becomes Predicate Nominative (Sec. 168, 2, b): as,--

urbs Roma vocata est, _the city was called Rome_.

a. Not all Verbs admit the Passive construction; reddo and efficio, for
example, never take it.

Two Accusatives--Person and Thing.

178. 1. Some Verbs take two Accusatives, one of the Person Affected, the
other of the Result Produced. Thus:--

a) Verbs of _requesting_ and _demanding_; as,--

otium divos rogat, _he asks the gods for rest_;

me duas orationes postulas, _you demand two speeches of me_.

So also oro, posco, reposco, exposco, flagito, though some of these
prefer the Ablative with ab to the Accusative of the Person; as,--

opem a te posco, _I demand aid of you_.

b) Verbs of _teaching_ (doceo and its compounds); as,--

te litteras doceo, _I teach you your letters_.

c) Verbs of _inquiring_; as,--

te haec rogo, _I ask you this_;

te sententiam rogo, _I ask you your opinion_.

d) Several Special Verbs; _viz_. moneo, admoneo, commoneo, cogo, accuso,
arguo, and a few others. These admit only a Neuter Pronoun or Adjective
as Accusative of the Thing; as,--

hoc te moneo, _I give you this advice_;

me id accusas, _you bring this accusation against me_;

id cogit nos natura, _nature compels us (to) this_.

e) One Verb of _concealing_, celo; as,--

non te celavi sermonem, _I have not concealed the conversation from
you_.

2. In the Passive construction the Ac
