conjunctions ut, ne, or ut ne); as,-- fac ut eum exores, _see to it that you prevail upon him!_ cura ut vir sis, _see to it that you are a man!_ laborabat ut reliquas civitates adjungeret, _he was striving to join the remaining states to him_. a. Conor, _try_, always takes the Infinitive. NOTE.--Verbs of all the above classes also admit the Infinitive, especially in poetry. 6. With a few other expressions, such as necesse est, reliquus est, sequitur, licet, oportet; as,-- sequitur ut doceam, _it remains for me to show_; licet redeas, _you may return_; oportet loquamur, _we must speak_. On the absence of ut with licet and oportet, see paragraph 8. 7. Here also belong phrases of the type: nulla causa est cur, quin; non est cur, etc.; nihil est cur, etc.; as,-- nulla causa est cur timeam, _there is no reason why I should fear_ (originally Deliberative: _why should I fear? There's no reason_); nihil est quin dicam, _there is no reason why I should not say_. 8. Many of the above classes of verbs at times take the simple Subjunctive without ut. In such cases we must not recognize any omission of ut, but simply an earlier form of expression which existed before the ut-clause arose. This is regularly the case with necesse est, licet, and oportet; see 6. Other examples are:-- eos moneo desinant, _I warn them to stop_; huic imperat adeat civitates, _he orders him to visit the states_. B. Substantive Clauses developed from the Optative. 296. Substantive Clauses Developed from the Optative occur:-- 1. With verbs of _wishing_, _desiring_, especially cupio, opto, volo, malo (conjunctions ut, ne, ut ne); as,-- opto ut in hoc judicio nemo improbus reperiatur, _I hope that in this court no bad man may be found_ (here ut reperiatur represents a simple optative of direct statement, viz. reperiatur, _may no bad man be found_!); cupio ne veniat, _I desire that he may not come_. a. The simple Subjunctive (without ut) sometimes occurs with verbs of this class. (See Sec. 295, 8.) Examples are: velim scribas, _I wish you would write_; vellem scripsisset, _I wish he had written_. 2. With expressions of _fearing_ (timeo, metuo, vereor, etc.). Here ne means _that_, _lest_, and ut means _that not_; as,-- timeo ne veniat, _I fear that he will come_ (originally: _may he not come! I'm afraid_ [_he will_]); tim
