s, -a, -um eram factus, -a, -um essem _F. P._ factus, -a, -um ero: INFINITIVE PARTICIPLES _Pres._ fieri: _Perf._ factus, -a, -um _Perf._ factus, -a, -um esse _Ger._ faciendus, -a, -um _Fut._ [[factum i:ri:]]] _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? _388._ EXERCISES I. 1. Fit, fiet, ut fiat, fiebamus. 2. Fio, fies, ut fierent,
