_384._ Observe the following sentences:
1. Terror erat tantus ut omnes fugerent, _the terror was so great
that all fled._
2. Terror erat tantus ut non facile milites sese reciperent, _the
terror was so great that the soldiers did not easily recover
themselves._
3. Terror fecit ut omnes fugerent, _terror caused all to flee_
(lit. _made that all fled_).
_a._ Each of these sentences is complex, containing a principal
clause and a subordinate clause.
_b._ The principal clause names a cause and the subordinate clause
states the _consequence_ or _result_ of this cause.
_c._ The subordinate clause has its verb in the subjunctive, though
it is translated like an indicative. The construction is called the
_subjunctive of consequence or result_, and the clause is called a
consecutive or result clause.
_d._ In the last example the clause of result is the object of the
verb /fecit\.
_e._ The conjunction introducing the consecutive or result clause is
/ut\ = _so that_; negative, /ut no:n\ = _so that not_.
_385._ RULE. Subjunctive of Result. _Consecutive clauses of result are
introduced by /ut\ or /ut no:n\ and have the verb in the subjunctive._
_386._ RULE. _Object clauses of result with /ut\ or /ut no:n\ are found
after verbs of /effecting\ or /bringing about\._
_387._ Purpose and Result Clauses Compared. There is great similarity
in the expression of purpose and of result in Latin. If the sentence is
affirmative, both purpose and result clauses may be introduced by /ut\;
but if the sentence is negative, the purpose clause has /ne:\ and the
result clause /ut no:n\. Result clauses are often preceded in the main
clause by such words as /tam\, /ita\, /sic\ (_so_), and these serve to
point them out. Compare
_a._ Tam graviter vulneratus est ut caperetur
_He was so severely wounded that he was captured_
_b._ Graviter vulneratus est ut caperetur
_He was severely wounded in order that he might be captured_
Which sentence contains a result clause, and how is it pointed out?
